Featured Review on this writing by Nicks The Logophile

"Read your book from chapter 1 to 10. The book is full of eccentricities like reflections, fantastic beings, and mirrors. I like the elvish girl/woman. The elve appears to be the actual reflection of the main character's personality. In my opinion the elvish self was maltreated and disregarded by the society or the people around her. She became humaniod after being mishandled by the society. The Yellow-purple flowers and the singing are the reminder of the main character's innocent childhood and the girl wearing the yellow-purple dress is giving main character a nude to see the beauty of life and to put the darkness away. Overall the story is set in a dreamy realm and by the end of novel the character wakes up to face the real harsh word but now she should be seeing the world from a new perspective. The sentences are simple and easy to understand. The main idea of the novel is clear and powerful. Great work! "
