Review Detail of Sdrawkcab in New Hope Academy

I believe the author is doing a great job in building the reader's understanding of the world. It is not a nice place where everyone accomplishes their goals in life. So far the MC has had no luck in anything, other than talking his way out of being killed. I think if the author wishes to continue, there needs to be more description of the world and the side characters. What the MC is thinking would help for the readers to feel for him. I understand not wanting to give everything away for plot development, but his emotions and feelings create empathy for him. He is a child, so a little more of his actions showing that would help. When he gets hit, does he fall to the floor and start to sob? Pulling his legs in to make himself as small of a target as possible? Does it hurt enough to make him scream and cry? Put yourself into his position and try to imagine what you would do in order to build a sympathy with him. If you get good enough at describing how he feels, your readers will feel those same emotions as they read. Good Luck!
