Review Detail of NotBeatrix in Sparking Bloom

'In a world of beats and hybrids, Alfonse is the only human...' I know that this interesting setup is what drew me to the book. It makes you wonder how and why Alfonse ended up in this world. The first chapter has a hook that pulls you but I think what I enjoyed most was how the author does a good job of showing the monotony of Alfonse's life. You can really tell that in the first few chapters that Alfonse is living a life he finds boring and disinteresting. It makes all the more sense for when in later chapters, Alfonse may want to do something to fight to change. Additionally, the author tries to make sure readers have a basic image of the world in the story. With that being said, I noticed there were a few grammar errors here and there in terms of the tense switches and typos. While speaking in present tense isn't bad, I would say the present tense shift doesn't feel like it works to the best of its abilities here in this book. Also, the book could use more details on the world and setting as well properly introduce the characters. The chapters move far too fast for me to remain invested in one scene or the other. This can be solved by simply detailing things such the settings and more. For example, it was written that the townspeople are animal hybrids, but no further descriptions were provided besides 'cat' 'dog' which left me with the image of just a regular dog and cat. You may to explain them looking like had the head of tiger but the body of a man or something like that. Besides that, I think your novel has a lot of potential with a little polishing. Good luck, author!
