Need an opinion......or two.

I just got an idea for a book but I don't know if it would be any good.

The story is centered around a boy named Arryn. Three years previously his father left to help defend against an evil force named Moriat, and never returned. Now that he's twelve he leaves his village to travel to the city Thornkeep. Thornkeep is the घर of spell-casters, wizards, and mages. The place where anyone who is willing to learn can be taught. There Arryn learns that he possesses a unique and rare gift. He is a sacred whisperer, one who can hear the ancient words and control them.

The story is basically about him learning to control his gift, and learning और about his father and the secrets surrounding his past.

Please tell me what आप think....
criticism is welcomed.

And if आप have any ideas on how to make it better, please feel free to tell me.

I'm sorry to say this, but your book idea sounds kinda like Harry Potter, what with a young boy going to a school for wizards and such, finding out he has something powerful within him, and he finds out the truth about his parent. And what is the power of the "ancient words"?

It does? I've never read harry potter. The ancient words are, well.... the world around us is constantly speaking. Every tree, grass, and rock are talking in this long forgotten language.

Arryn isn't a wizard, and it's his father's past that he learns about.

nice touch. it has potential, much of magic is controlled द्वारा the laws of stone, and able to hear ancient words with the hope of understanding one must be worthy to do so. control and understanding are only helped with great study of devotion to do things perfect and for the commeon good.but learning of ones father when the memory has failed leaves much to the desire या a need. a sacred whisperer, i like it. critisism, needs more. आप will make a gr8 creation of arryn and his pet, with a staff/sceptre of his fathers homeland;-]

I hate to be the mean one here, but I'll be honest. The whole idea of the teen या pre-teen that discovers he has special powers, plus the death of a parent, is a story we've all heard before. In many different variations. I don't mean to completely dismiss it, of course आप can turn it in a lovely original story if आप write it well and smart enough. But it's too close to becoming a copy-out.

Thank आप for your honesty. I'll keep that in mind and make sure it doesn't become a copy-out. One thing though, I never कहा his father was dead.

I disagree with KissOfDoom. No offense, but the reason why people "recycle" a plot line over and over again is because it attracts human attention. It's human nature to like those plots. If people like it, then why change it? If it's not broken, then don't try to fix it. People like it, so write about it! People write similar plots found in the classics because even today, people adore classical works like Jane Austen या Bram Stoker. What matters MOST is the QUALITY of the writing, not the topic itself. OUTSTANDING लेखन abilities is what makes a story worthwhile...it can be on ornithology if anything!! If the story is written well, then it is laudable.

@Moonlight_Kitty, आप mentioned that he didn't return, so I supposed that was what आप meant. Anyway, thank आप for taking no offence. :) @Summer_Leanne, I understand your point, even though I disagree. I personally am very fond of originality, and I think that a recycled plot can easily become really tiring. How many copies of Harry Potter या Twilight can we really see? I don't know, I just honestly believe that people should try to come up with new, creative ideas. However, I agree that good लेखन can fix anything, या at least almost anything. Even an old plot can be made original if आप write it with new twists and perpectives.

@KissOfDoom Thank आप very much for not bashing me for disagreeing with आप :) You're very open-minded. I can completely see where you're coming from and I have no objections to it. It's merely a difference in opinions. I think it can work both ways!
