CAWPILE REVIEW
** I recently altered some of the tenants and how I break them down. The score with the key phrase plus the further breakdown is now included. Scores are now out of 86 instead of 70. :) **
<b>Characters:</b> 8/10 <i>The characters are really good!</i>
It's not often that I come across a multi-POV book where I like all the characters, but I especially love Roy & Rhaiga.
- third person
- multi-POV
<b>Atmosphere:</b> 8/10 <i>The setting/mood worked</i>
<b>Writing Style:</b> 15/18**
<u>breakdown</u>
- <b>storytelling:</b> 8/10 <i>Very good storytelling</i>
- <b>grammar:</b> 3/4 <i>Some grammatical errors</i>
- <b>formatting:</b> 4/4 <i>No formatting issues</i>
<b>Plot:</b> 7/10 <i>Not unique but enjoyable</i>
Don't see this as negative! Plot is one I always feel compelled to explain further because I am a character-driven reader, and I read primarily fantasy, so plots do start mirroring each other -- this is natural. <i>Pathlighter</I> may not have a super original storyline, but it's ABSOLUTELY ENJOYABLE, and I am invested in this story.
<b>Intrigue:</b> 11/14**
<u>breakdown</u>
- <b>overall:</b> 8/10 <i>I want to read more from this author/series</i>
- <b>re-readability:</b> 3/4 <i>Would Re-Read</i>
<b>Logic:</b> 13/14**
<u>breakdown</u>
- <b>plot logic:</b> 9/10 <i>I understand the plot and want more</i>
- <b>character logic:</b> 4/4 <i>Characters made sense</i>
<b>Excitement:</b> 9/10 <i>Have told friends about this</i>
Total Score: 71/86
Rating: 4
