I will be reviewing other author's work in this blog. After reading a book, especially a lesser-known indie work I will post here, on my Facebook, and my Twitter, from there I will add the review to Goodreads and Amazon. To keep these short, spoiler free, and to make it less time demanding than I can handle, I will try to keep these short and to the point. Development (world/character building)I'd look at how much I enjoy the characters, and how real they feel. Are they distinctly different? In terms of world building, how descriptive is the writing, do I feel like I'm there or is it left to my imagination too much? And if it is well described, does it slow down the pace? Grammar and SpellingWith indie books especially, this is a rough one. I myself have had plenty of issues with finding a missing word, or even worse: a misspelling on the back cover. Cringe moment. Here I will, as gently as I can, address this aspect of the books I review. Since I will be targeting Indie books, I'm expecting this section to be loaded. (Disclaimer: most indie authors don't have the budget to pay a professional editor). Stuff I loved, hated, and took from this narativeThis is the fun part, especially with masterfully written stories. This section may include spoilers, so I'd indicate that. I might include a quote that stuck with me, anything that I found intriguing, or maybe even something I absolutely loathed. I hope to post here soon! I am currently reading a series by an Indie author which doesn't pull punches when it comes to rape and violence in a post-apocalyptic world. The first chapter definitely disturbed me, and hopefully I will be able to add a review to those books to this blog soon! LinksHere I'll include the author's Facebook and main website links in case you get interested. But make sure you check out my books as well!
Audios!
