《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'As The Snow Fell' by Chrisdotjpar
Advertisement
As The Snow Fell is about Jacob, a boy who lives in a world where it's always winter and snow never stops falling (Good job, Elsa). When he finds a strange book, an group called the Watchers go after him and he has to try his hardest to survive.
I like the plot of this. Post-apocalyptic winter? That's a new one. I don't think that's been done a lot, so it's very original!
However, I do think you could do more with everything in your world. For example, that paradise where the rich live? It's mentioned, but then it sort of... disappears from the story. That has a lot of potential, and I think you might be planning on using it in the future, but if you weren't considering that, I'd recommend giving it some thought!
There aren't a lot of characters, it's mainly Jacob and his father. In my opinion, they're okay. If you want me to be brutally honest, I'd say they aren't underdeveloped, but not that well developed either.
Character development isn't just personality traits and the like. There's more to it than that. Does Jacob have hobbies? Passions? Phobias? Disorders? You don't have to say, for example, 'Jacob has Arachnophobia' or anything like it, but if he is afraid of spiders, make him see a spider and feel at least mildly uncomfortable. This helps make characters more relatable.
The GPS is good. I can't remember anything about it that really stuck out as a mistake, so good job on that!
To conclude, the book could use some improvement, but what it is right now sure isn't bad either!

A Journey in Darkness
A Journey in Darkness is the story of a human girl who finds herself displaced far, far away from home, in a new world filled with wonders to discover and perils to overcome in her very own way. Waking up in a cave in her pajamas will only be the start of her problems. Will she find a way out? Maybe. Will she get eaten while searching for it? Probably. Is she going to be quite unhappy with the menu offered? Absolutely. Hello! I’m Mr. White and this is my first story. I hope you will like it! In this tale you won’t find a powerful main character conquering the new evil world with only the power of his tortured soul. What you will find is a normal person growing and finding her way despite the hardships she encounters in a world that is not so black and white. I will be posting every Tuesday and Friday and I’ll try to keep as large a backlog as possible. English is not my first language so I hope you will inform me if you find any mistake in the chapters.

Genesis
Taryn is a mutant in a world where mutants are considered no more than monsters in human skin. The descendants of the gods rule as mortal Kings and the entire world waits for their fates to be decided in the prophesied battle between the Last Lothor King and the mutants’ Dark Prince. But Taryn believes this is all fantasy, born from legends and myth.

Taryn is determined to change that.Her plan is a simple one: win the King to her cause and the faiths of the masses will compel them to follow. It should have been an easy enough task; the King doesn’t seem to believe in the prophecies any more than she does. But soon the ambitions of a criminal empire, the plots of warmongering officials and the looming threat of a violent faith movement begin to erode their fragile relationship and derail her plans.Can the two of them reconcile in time to prevent a civil war or will their inability to work together bring about the very thing they’ve fought so hard to avoid?
