《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'The Feeling Underneath' by Gigi_washere
Advertisement
This story is kind of a special case, because only one chapter is actually posted. The author was friendly enough to send me their drafts/chapters, so I've read more than the rest of Wattpad is able to at the moment. It's a shame not everything is published, though, 'cause it's been a while since I've reviewed a story as good as this one.
'The Feeling Underneath' follows Two-Sixty-Eight, also known as 'Caesar'. He's an AH, an artificial human; he was created in a lab, and, like the others like him, he possesses a Fore-Light, a special power. However, life is far but easy for him. He's often treated as an object rather than a human, and the training he has to undergo is harsh. We follow Two-Sixty as he tries to make sense of the peculiar life he's been 'born' in.
At first I felt like this was going to be just another dystopian revolution novel, but I was pleasantly surprised. I've seen a solid plot slowly build up, and the amount of detail I've seen is remarkable. The author manages to build a very convincing world, allowing the concept of artificial humans with powers to truly become theirs.
The characters are well-written, feel real, and have genuine interactions with eachother. I was especially interested in how well the beginning stages of AH life were written, and Joseph's relationship with Two-Sixty adds a great touch of realism and touching melancholy to the story.
Aside from a few minor mistakes, the GPS is amazing. The story is easy to read and I founs the author to possess a pleasant style!
I'd recommend giving this story a try when more chapters are up!
Rating: 9.5

When a boy summons the power damned by the gods, will he destroy the entire world like they say? Or will he end the current regime and bring about a new era of peace? AN: This is the first time I'm writing a story like this. If you don't mind my poor grammar, weird name choices, and sloppy mistakes feel free to stick around (and correct me please.) Constructive critism is welcome! However please do not just bash my story as I do put a lot of effort into it. I want to make an enjoyable story for myself as well as all of you. Ps: It's time to come back and rewrite the entire thing, since it kind of went off the rails and then I abandonded it a couple years ago. Thanks to my friend for drawing the cover art for me.
