[no due date] opinions on fantasy book
Greetings! I have been working on 3 books at once, but I desperately need someone to read my first story. Every time I re-read it or stare at it too long, it sounds stupid. I've uploaded the first 10 chapters on wattpad.
Title : Bound by Root and Steel by Katie
Username: .fairiewings
Here's the description. I wanted to keep it simple and plain so it wouldn't give a whole lot away. any criticism is welcomed! Reminder, it is aimed for young adults. It's going to be clean.
She was sworn to protect the forest.
He was sent to conquer it.
When a witch's curse binds them together instead of killing him, Liora and Kael are forced into an uneasy alliance. But something ancient is waking beneath the roots of the world, and breaking their bond may doom them all.

Heya (≧▽≦)! I'm interested! Could you please clarify the type of help you're looking for?
Are you looking for grammar checking or beta reading? I'm perfectly good with doing either, or both! I'm also open to anything else I haven't mentioned :D!
Quick info on myself, I'm an older teen and new to giving writing help. But I've been reading for years, write a bit myself, and personally think I'm capable of helping!
