Now a teenager, Kodus falls victim to high school bullying that leaves him wishing for a better life. When he is given a powerful diamond from his father for good luck, it will be more than good luck that changes his life forever.

What We Did

This piece of science fantasy gave off a sense of scale and wonder from the moment that we laid eyes on it. With that said, there is always room for improvement!

On a technical level, we managed to chop the word count down by rearranging sentences and removing unnecessary details.

On the creative side of the equation, we sought to bring out the epic nature of the storyline by focusing the conflict, getting the details of each sequence right, and turning each character into a more endearing person. The last point is especially true for Kodus, Nikita, Katera, and Solaris, who are arguably the biggest highlights of the novel.
