What readers are saying

"Dearest Jasper,

As I said in my final comment, what a ride.

Considering that those last few chapters were freshly crafted and hadn’t even been worked over again, they were amazing. This story is gripping and you really have a clear voice and style. I feel I can comment fully on the plot now I’ve had the twists revealed, and I had no clue what you were doing in the background until it was dropped in my lap. The beauty of your twists are that they are 100% believable, and don’t detract from the story in any way which is what I’ve seen so much in other works I’ve critiqued or beta read. Yours really enhance the reader’s journey and serve the plot perfectly.

You revel in the grimness of the world you’ve built, without making it over the top or cliché, again enhancing the experience. I shudder to think what’ll you’ll achieve with the expertise of a professional editor to help polish this further! Let’s just say that if this was a book I had purchased off the shelf, I’d be preordering book two right now. There was enough tied up to make the end satisfying, but plenty of open ends to keep me hungry for more."
