Is it for children or teens? I do not understand what audience this is supposed to target
First and foremost I did like the story per se, it’s fairytale like and teaches children the power of friendship or something along these lines. However I noticed some things that weren’t really making sense to me. First up the setting, there was a straightener mentioned and until that point i thought we were in a classic fantasy setting which to me meant no electricity… The world building was a bit inconsistent in general. Ancient magic was machines shooting poisonous magic lasers…it was a world mixed of every fantasy/sci-fi/dystopian setting there is. Secondly there’s some new invented fruits and animals, which is totally fine and I get that you want fantasy animals in a fantasy land. I just would have wanted those new inventions to be described in some way, which they were not at all! Like tell me the colour of the woebly, is it spiky? Tangy? Sweet or sour? Same with the birds, one is probably a singing bird because it wakes people up, but how big is it in comparison to the letter-carrying one? Is it yellow or red maybe even some pink? You took the time to invent unusual names so tell me about the creature/thing behind the name. The third thing that stuck out to me is how easy and short the council meetings where, the politics aren’t important for a childrens book, however if this is really meant to be a story for teens (as I thought) than it could’ve been more realistic and convincing. A 13 year old knows at least the basics of such political interactions. That given I think age 8-12 wouldn’t mind and this could be a cute fairytale like book for them but I’m not really certain if it isn’t too scary for young children. It’s just that I am not the audience for this book as I thought I would be when buying it. I also acknowledge that the Author was only 15 when publishing this very first book of theirs so there are obviously errors and room for growth in the future.
