Pawn's Gambit
Ratings14
Average rating4
Overall Rating - 7/10
Plot - 7/10 Good. A coherent and satisfying plot with multiple well-crafted arcs and engaging twists.
World-building - 6/10 Above average. The world was slightly more than a standard backdrop to the story. There were many interesting elements, but not much time was spent fleshing it all out.
Characters - 7/10 Good. Satisfying depth and development of the main character. The side characters were a bit flat, but had personality and were quite lovable.
Prose - 5/10 Average. Meets expectations but nothing about the writing quality stands out.
Theme - 8/10 Very good. An impressive execution of theme, entwined well with the character work.
Narration - 8/10 Very good. Kim Bretton knocks it out of the park. Her delivery was engaging and immersive with well-differentiated characters and fluctuating tone that fit each situation well.
