OVERVIEW
OVERVIEWIt was a pleasure to read your novel, The X Game. The title itself evokes a sense of play and mystery—What is the X? And what kind of game is it?
OVERVIEWIt was a pleasure to read your novel, The X Game. The title itself evokes a sense of play and mystery—What is the X? And what kind of game is it?In critiquing your novel, I read it first as a reader, then again as an editor.
PLOT & STRUCTURE
PLOT & STRUCTUREThis has all the elements of a classic horror story. From the beginning, the main character, a leader of a mysterious order, turns off the security system inside the manor, immediately cueing the reader that the protagonist is about to do something clandestine.
CHARACTERS
CHARACTERSEgri is a transparent and expressive character who does not hesitate to act, speak, or run away (if he has to). His frank manner makes him easily knowable and perhaps, for some, relatable and even comical. In a sense, he is your average man who is put into extraordinary circumstances. It’s that tension between the ordinary and the extraordinary that keeps the reader interested.
POINT OF VIEW (POV)
POINT OF VIEW (POV)You’ve chosen to write in third-person limited POV, starting with Egri, and then switching to Marlo's in chapter 2. I think this approach works fine, as long as it remains consistent throughout the novel.
SETTING
SETTINGThe setting is atmospheric and effective. In the opening chapter, it’s nighttime, there is a manor, a dark forest, strong winds and rain. The important thing here is to make sure the weather is consistent. In the forest, it’s windy and rainy, but when Marlo is looking through the window, the sky is bluish and clear, with no sign of wind or rain. So, as a reader, I’m wondering if the wind and rain in the forest was an isolated event? Also, Marlo is looking out at a city skyline.

VOICE/TONE
VOICE/TONEVoice is partly how characters speak as well as how the story is written. I found that the most glaring inconsistency in voice is in the leader's diction
TIMING/PACING
TIMING/PACINGAbove, I briefly mentioned rhythm. Rhythm involves pacing and timing. Sentences have a rhythm, as do paragraphs and scenes.
