If you saw this novel in a bookstore, how likely would you be to buy it?

1 = least likely, 10 = most likely

If the number above is less than 10, why is it less than 10, and what do you think could make it a 10 for you?

What are your initial thoughts?

Favorite/least favorite parts, if any? Why? If you haven't already covered this above, did you enjoy this as a start of the novel? Why/Why not?

What emotion(s), if any, did you feel during the course of your read? Why?

Emotion word examples: interested, intrigued, curious, perplexed, angry, anxious, fearful, optimistic, pleased, outraged, annoyed, amused, surprised, bored, playful, comfortable, sympathetic, warm, irritated, suspicious, worried, etc.

What are your thoughts/feelings about the opening segment with Zel and Amora?

Were you able to visualize their action to your satisfaction? For those who read Book 1, are you able to see some of Amora's progress and are you happy with it? If you've read Book 1, did you catch the correlation between the candy stick she threw in the very beginning and the throwing spikes from last book? Etc. (consider "Scene Considerations" above)

What are your thoughts/feelings about the opening segment when Buzan comes on the scene?

Consider "Scene Considerations" listed in the link above

What are your thoughts/feelings about the Nexis, Tree Town, and Zel's house? Is the location/setting established well enough for you?

Note, it's important that the reader feel comfortable in Zel's house as there are several scenes throughout the novel that will take place there. So please do point it out if the description of that, in particular, is not enough for you.

What are your thoughts/feelings about the scene with Zel and Buzan?

Consider "Scene Considerations" listed in the link above

I chose not devote a paragraph each to re-describe Zel, Amora, & Buzan fully and instead refenced some of their features during different actions (and also made sure I went over Zel's scars). Is this sufficient for you, or would you have preferred I re-described the characters fully?

Were there any sections that were slow, boring, unclear or confusing?

Yes

If yes, please explain.

If you haven't yet read Book 1 and something was unclear or confusing, please indicate that below so I can identify if the confusion might be due to that or not. Note that this is the ONLY book in the series where I'm trying to write it so the reader can start at this book and decipher what they need. After this, we'll be too deep into the series. Readers won't be able to comfortably start at Book 3 or beyond.

Did you notice any plot holes or inconsistencies?

This can be anything from the minor (eg. someone's eye color changed) to a major flaw in the plot.

Yes

If yes, please describe.

Is there anything that was lacking or anything you want to mention that hasn’t already been mentioned above?

Yes

If yes, please elaborate.

Do you have any predictions?

Yes

If yes, what are they?
