March 1, 2021 at 3:13 am #945021.Β Are my characters likable? I just wanted confirmation that Caira was, in fact, interesting.
Yeah, all of them are (so far). Yes, Caira is interesting! I enjoyed being in her head. π
2.Β Is the story engaging? If you were in a bookstore, would you keep reading? Does it keep you hooked?
100%. I would definitely keep reading!!!!! YES, the second chapter got me more hooked than the first one!
3.Β Is the pacing all right?
I think so? I’m not good at judging at pacing since I can read all sorts of pacing fine. Nothing seemed really off or wrong at all.

I’m over the moon that so many people are interested in my story and my characters (because I was SUPER nervous it wasn’t good!!!!)
