Willing to swap novels.
I'm nearing completion of the second round of editing of my novel and need another pair of eyes. What I'm looking for the most is someone with a keen enough eye to help me get the word count down. Since its a fantasy I'm also looking for someone familiar enough with the genre to point out any cliches. I'm also looking for chapter by chapter impressions, comments on character and plot development, and an overall impression on the novel. Anything more is extra and welcomed. I'm not looking for someone to tell me how awesome! this novel is. I would much prefer helpful crit. I have thick skin so I'll be fine.
My novel is a YA fantasy at about ~107K. You won't be getting an early draft as this novel has gone through 2 beta cycles. I'm hoping this will be the last.
Brief Blurb(not sure if it does the story any justice. still trying to get this blurb thing down):
Nima is 15 year old, self-proclaimed realist whose life until now has consisted of a different city and a different school every few months. Her only friends are trees. So when she starts Ellicott Senior High, she expects everything to be the same. However, things start to change when visiting a new human friend's home. A dangerous secret some would kill to know reveals itself to them. Nima is plunged into a world where no one is who they say they are including the ones closest to her. She must overcome her own prejudices to navigate these new surroundings while on the run to protect a sacred object from those who only wish to use it for evil.
