  Reviewed at chapter six.
  Let me start this by saying that I truly feel this author has a lot of potential. Very interesting concepts thus far, and the world-building is unique. The story and the settings lend to a fantastic backdrop, and I look forward to seeing how this Author grows their story.
  Overall: The Overall story is unique, at least to me. The setting thus far shifts well and lends to a large world with unique logic and intricate dynamics. This leads to a fun read and a hopeful future for the story.
  Style: The style of this work is without a doubt, very different from what I normally read. That being said, even for a novice reader I felt the world head a breadth that was hard to deny. The characters and plots were never contrived, and though some issues do exist as they do in all things, the prose lends to a unique experience.
  Grammar: There are a few issues with grammar at least as of right now. My best advice for the author would be to carefully break perspective shifts or time skips in a less jarring way. Use something to denote the transition to another scene. The author is aware of the issues and is actively working to better them with edits and updates, and he incorporates advice well.
  Story Score: The story so far is a fairly unique start and introduction to a fantastic world. Though a few pacing issues make it hard to follow at times, I have no fear that this will be leveled out as the story progresses. In fact, in chapter six this is already something I have noticed as I continue to read.
  Character Score: Earlier on in the beginning of the story the characters struggled a bit with the tell don't show problem, however this has since been adjusted and is nearly completely gone at this point. Dialogue is good, but does not feel as natural as it could be, which is my only current criticism at this point.
  Overall, I believe this is a worthwhile read from a talented writer who is open to criticism and growth. I think if you see this you should do yourse

  Story:
  The story has as political focus, addressing things such as espionage, illegal cargo, and a potential world-altering weapon, which kept me engaged as it was a break from the normal power fantasy cliches. It has great world building, and so far, the pacing is well executed.
  Characters:
  The characters are believable and so far, they all have had their time to shine. Silvano's redemptive journey, and the team's camaraderie create a nice dynamic that doesn't overstay its welcome. Overall, I think the characters themselves were the more compelling aspect of the story. At least, so far.
  Style:
  The narrative style is a bit different than what I'm used to. It's both written in past and in present format,
  Grammar:
  There's a bit of inconsistency with the spacing in the early chapters, and the grammar itself can be a bit rough at times, but the story still gets its point across. The author is devoted to correcting and altering this when necessary!
  Summary: I can recommend giving Eastern Odyssey a read if you're seeking a break from the aforementioned power fantasy cliche, though keep in mind that the author is still adjusting the grammar and style to accommodate his readers.

  Style: The story's style has decent word choice and a unique way of writing, but there aren't many literary devices. In addition, it's pretty bare on descriptions most of the time. Aside from one steampunk device, the technology level isn't clear until a few chapters in, even though there was a battle in it. That will be discussed in the story section.
  Story: The story is about a war in a steampunk world. The war part of the plot starts quickly, so it is fairly fast-paced. That part is something that can work, but we don't get to know most of the characters before the first battle, which is something I'll get into later. There is also some strange pacing in the battle. Much of the battle is described with bare basics. It's over fairly quickly and isn't detailed enough to get a true sense of the struggle and loss of the battle. It feels more like reading a report a general sent to his superior than actually witnessing a battle. After that, the pacing becomes fairly appropriate again. I could say the same for plot development that I said about the pacing.
  Grammar: There are some distracting grammatical errors but not many.
  Character: The first main character is fairly 3 dimensional and realistic. In fact, I don't think any of the characters are unrealistic. However, aside from him and the other main character, the other characters are fairly one-note. They are entertaining but one note. Even the other main character is not the most 3 dimensional. Still, all the characters are memorable.
