I'm looking for people that would be interested in receiving a free copy of my ebook in exchange for an honest review. I will leave the synopsis below. Feel free to contact me at: robertparkin1046@gmail.com if interested, or PM your email so I may send you your copy. Thank you for your interest. (The copy will be PDF or if you wish to have the E-Book a "gifted" copy can be sent to you to download from Amazon).

Synopsis:

In a world laid bare, humanity scattered, one girl fights to reclaim what was stolen from her—the only family she has left. Her name is Tepes. Pushed by this one goal, Tepes stumbles upon one of humanities last bastions within its ruined world—Sky Cities. Here, she quickly is sucked into a world ruled by a masked mad man obsessed with order. She soon finds herself trapped in the middle of a desperate fight between a small rebel faction and the cornerstone of the city itself, the Eye of the Adjudicator. It is in this struggle she will come to see that there is far more going on within this Sky City then she would care to believe. No one can escape, from the Eye of the Adjudicator.

Can I read it free out of interest, or is feedback required?
I don't know the writing style, so I might not like it half way through...

I certainly don't "require" but if you didn't care for it, an honest review of what you read would be nice. If you are still interested, I will happily send you a PDF copy of the book. Just PM me your Email so I may do so.

Thank you for your interest.

I would be more than happy to review your story. It might take me a while since my weeks are a bit hectic with work and other situations, but I can assure you that I can read it over the weekends that I have free (especially if it has a compelling plot with interesting characters... I'm a sucker for great characters).
I, myself, am a self-proclaimed writer, so I enjoy seeing what fellow authors can create. Everyone has such different preferences when it comes to writing (genres, ideas, etc.) and I find that so interesting.

Anyway, to get back to the point, if you're still looking to send out a copy in return for a review, then I'm all for it. Again, it might not be a professional or profound review, but I'll give you my honest thoughts. I am also willing to review it as I read (i.e. after every chapter or part... depending on how you wrote it). I do it that way for a friend of mine and he seems to prefer it that way, seeing as he can make corrections and edit certain parts much easier. It's all up to you, though.

I'd like to have a look on your work. I've always enjoyed studying and observing others' writing style. Also, I'm a big fan of action stories. Strong female characters and flawed badass are my faves.

My time allocation to reading this work will be random, since I haven't known the schedule of my case report yet (between this week and next week). I also have some other projects when it comes to writing: review exchange contracts and proofreading. So, my review is likely to be late. But still, it all depends on the 'fuel' heh.

My review will be much like those in review games such as here (see the posts under the name Legendary Biologist). However, I will be more formal and critical here, especially when it comes to writing style. I'm ESL, but having received a lot of concrits in writing (fanfics, but 99% of the critics/reviewers are fandom blind, so they tend to focus on the technical aspects of writing), I have a pretty good grasp of English language.

I must give The_Biologist a personal shout out for their very insightful and critical eye that has made my work that much stronger. It really means a lot. I can't thank you enough.

Light novel ain't really my trip but I just love reading as much as writing.
So I'm gonna give you feedback, just let the Inkit link for a mere week or two. I swear once I'm in holidays I'll get this read as quick as possible.

Lolsebca and Minerva_WiseOwl thank you for even considering the idea of reading my work! If you wish to have a PDF sent to you instead feel free to PM me and I will happily send it your way.

Forgive me, but I wish to selfishly bump this back to the top.

Offers and links are still live.

I will also be willing to trade reviews for your work as well.

Be advised it will take me some time to get to your work as I'm a bit backed up right now.

Thank you for your interest as always.

Can't make any promises on how soon I'll be done (or in fact, if I'll even finish) but I'll give it a shot. How long is it?

This is what is happening with me right now. I am slowly but surely making my way through your novel. I'm about 1/3 of the way done with it. Once things start to calm down from the holiday season, I will hopefully get through it a little bit faster.
I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about it and that I am reading it whenever I get the chance.

The work is 260 pages long, 72,000 words. The spacing, margins, and leading all are set to a standard sized Light Novel so it literally is the standard length.

Even if you don't finish, the fact that you tried is very much appreciated. Be sure to pass the work along to someone else you think might enjoy it more. ^^

Please take your time. I'm writing two books and trying to read and edit others at the same time. It is hard to manage it all and I totally understand. Enjoy your holiday, and never think you are obligated to rush.

It's pretty long so sorry for the wait. I won't be able to do an in-depth review of what I found wrong(if I find something wrong) with a particular sentence, paragraph or chapter either.

I hope that's okay.

Methinks bumping has little chance of drawing attention, but since you're writing an original work, you have a much better chance. Yeah, I bet even if I keep bumping up my fanfic thread (fanfic stigma, fandom blind, etc), I won't get anything. I must be a beggar.

Question though: is vol 2 in-progress?

I'm actually nearing the end! I have like 50 or so pages left, I'd say? Your novel is my savior at work since I'm usually bored out of my mind xD

Yes. Volume 2 is currently being written. I'm actually in the process now with getting my illustrator to do vol 2's drawings. I'm very busy so I can only say that Vol 2 will be coming out 2017 Summer.

My FB page and Patreon will have more information in the coming months.
