It certainly is a breath of fresh air after all the other types of books I have read lately. Of course it isn't as sweet and innocent as it makes out if you consider the social aspects of it all - with regard to the servants and so on. Still, there is something innocent and so far uncomplicated about the development of the main character. I like the way it is written too - the 'feel' of it.

Needs work .
Der ?

Obviously she had problems as a child and went totally bonkers when puberty hit.

Venomous bites may cause all manner of ailments, including 'super heroism' ... it's up to the author to decide how factual their novel will be.
Hospitalisation (long overdue) highlighted that she was suffering from a number of unaddressed psychological problems.

'Twas only a fleeting idea as I showered but I could envisage some in depth analysis and each aspect, milestone, in her life might be a book in itself.

Re: My New Novel!

On the other hand, you could write a book about life on a forum


The trials and tribulations of Admin
The online fighting
The control freaks
The tantrums and tears




I shan't list it all but there is a wealth of 'stuff'
