- Avery Silas GoolsbyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Best book I'll ever read
- God_is_GoodRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I found this story to be poignant and compelling. The style is fast-paced and intriguing, the story is well structured and entertaining, and the characters grab your attention from the moment they waltz onto the page. I'll go over some of the key points, as well as explaining my reasonings for each rating.
The style was strong, and a welcome relief from many of the other stories on this website. The tone is slightly formal but runs in a lilting way that makes it impossible not to identify with Perryn. A few things I would advise with regards to the style is to use less -ly adverbs. They really bog the story up. Also, try to condense the number of exclamation points and capslocked letters. They detracted from the power of the text itself.
The grammar could have used some work. Although it was far better than some others that I've seen, there were a lot of mistakes that I would encourage the writer to look through. The biggest grammar mistakes I saw tended to involve comma splices and improper dialogue tags. With a bit of refining, this grammar could be made a lot stronger.
The best part of this novel is hands-down the story. Watching the banter between the characters and the complex emotions between the pirates is not only hilariously fun, but it makes you feel connected as well, as if you're part of something bigger. I can't wait to see how the plot plays out.
As I write this, the novel is a mere 41 pages long, which means that character is still in the midst of development. But overall, the characters were strong. Their motivations were complex, their desires were realistic, and their interactions were wonderful to watch. The one thing that I would advise is to let the characters show more emotion. Get into their souls and explore what makes them who they are.
Overall, I consider this to be a poignant, powerful story by a talented author. This deserves much more attention than it currently has.
