[Complete] [80k] [YA Fantasy/Romance] Same Side of the Sun
I’ve finished the third draft for my debut YA fantasy romance novel, Same Side of the Sun, and it’s ready for beta readers.
Looking for thoughts on:
- Plot logic/progression
- Pacing
- Clarity
- Prose (but please keep prose critiques to a minimum, and no grammar critiques)
- Whatever else comes to mind while reading!
Tropes:
- Forbidden romance
- Multiple POVs
- Grumpy x sunshine
- Hesitant allies to lovers
- Secret/hidden identity
- Forced proximity
- Coming of age
- Found family
Premise: In Medelgar, a world where minds can explode cities, Marcelo just wants to survive. But when disaster rips him from his isolated coastal home, his only chance of survival is a girl hiding a dangerous secret - forcing him to ask how far he’s willing to go for someone who could destroy him… and for a world already falling apart.
Content Warnings: Grief, loss of family members, child abuse/manipulation, attempted suicide, suicide ideation, graphic violence, blood, PTSD, mass death, drugging against will
Format: Google Docs
Timeline: Ideally, 3-4 weeks
Swap: Yes, I am open to a Beta Swap - send me a sample, I'm open to any genre (mild spice please).
Interested? Let me know in the comments or DM me for a sample chapter. Thank you so much for reading to the bottom of this post, I appreciate you :)
