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 ホーム 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 もっと見る about his father and the secrets surrounding his past.

Please tell me what あなた think....
criticism is welcomed.

And if あなた 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 によって 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 または a need. a sacred whisperer, i like it. critisism, needs more. あなた 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 または 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 あなた can turn it in a lovely original story if あなた write it well and smart enough. But it's too close to becoming a copy-out.

Thank あなた for your honesty. I'll keep that in mind and make sure it doesn't become a copy-out. One thing though, I never 発言しました 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 または Bram Stoker. What matters MOST is the QUALITY of the writing, not the topic itself. OUTSTANDING 書く 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, あなた mentioned that he didn't return, so I supposed that was what あなた meant. Anyway, thank あなた 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 または 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 書く can fix anything, または at least almost anything. Even an old plot can be made original if あなた write it with new twists and perpectives.

@KissOfDoom Thank あなた very much for not bashing me for disagreeing with あなた :) 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!

This is just the basic plot in a nutshell. There's もっと見る to the story than what I wrote, I have a hard time describing things so..... yeah. Thank あなた for your answer.
