Amazing few chapters! I love how they were so suspenseful! The only thing is, I feel like it was a lot to happen sort of at once. When will they find out who their matches are?
Keep up the amazing work! :) (:

I love this story so far! It's very good, although it does remind me of this book I'm reading right now called "Matched". Of course it's set in the future but it does have similar ideas as your story regarding things such as a group of people deciding who'll you marry, your job, etc. Except they have completely totally methods for doing it and there's no magic or the like at all. Have you read it? It's a really good book so far and it might help with 'Judge Me' if you ever get stuck for ideas or something like that.
Anyway, really can't wait to read the next chapter! :D

Aww.. I thought that was Darren.. oh well.. Anthony needs to have his moments since darren's going to be the one saving more in the end anyway.. I think.. I hope.
And it was needed.. beth needed that.

Mmmmm yummy

Darn! I thought it was Darren. Oh well. I guess he can't always be the one to save her. :D Great chapter as always!

Awesome chapter! I still can't wait till she finds out what she's going to be. It'll definitely be interesting to see the main plotline come in and watch it unfold.
Keep up the amazing work! :) (:

I loved this Chapter. It shows how Cindi is, and how her character acts with so much problems.

Anthony, lmao. At first I thought it was Darren, to be honest. So, so we have a bit of a love triangle going on? :P

Anthony is one of my favorite names. :) Though, Darren is my favorite overall character. 3

I do have a crush on him. :D Hehe! He's too amazing! I loved this chapter! I cantwait to see where she's placed! Poor Darren though. Being judged for something his dad did.

I really like what I've read so far, and I'm looking forward to more. I'm glad I gave your story a chance, because to be honest I don't usually go for stories with younger protagonists now that I'm nearly done with college. You really sucked me in though and I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter. C:

Awesome chapter! I can't wait to find out what she'll be! I have a question though: how do you get new judges? I'm assuming the current ones don't live forever... LOL
Keep up the amazing work! :) (:

This character I fell in love with in the first novel I read on my own will.

I love his father's name.. Keenan.. I also like Darren's name.. reminds me of a certain someone.
Anyway.. THERE'S MAGIC! WHOOhooo!

Pssht no. I know you and your stores well enough to know that you're not going to make her a worker. Haha.

She'll probably end up as a Traveler. I wouldn't mind being one, at least, lol.

Ok, so I did read the rest and it gets better :) I guess because most of those little things just aren't there. I'm sorry I tend to overthink and focus more on things maybe I shouldn't, but I REALLY like original cultures, but I like to see them done well even more ;) Your dialogue is typically very good, and the characters have well defined personalities.

I noticed in one of your review replies that you said you haven't read "The Giver". I highly recommend it as you continue this story, it's not a terribly long book and has some very similar concepts. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how to improve your own work, or ways that you can make yours more unique.

It's an interesting premise so far, I'll read at least another chapter before I decide for sure what I think.

The concept of this culture is really interesting to me, and I appreciate you trying to make such ideas into a more modernized story but the specific combination of these new customs and a world that is very obviously not all that different from our own just feels kind of forced and uncomfortable. I feel like if this is to work, you have to change the rest of the world more drastically because at the moment the two just don't fit.

Or perhaps I'm just visualizing it wrong. For example, her mother cooks for the village, yet still cooks breakfast for the family? That seems a little backwards. My first impression of this society is that they would care for the needs of the whole group before the individual, otherwise what's the purpose of telling youth what they can and cannot do. Then there's the thing with romance novels; by all rights "romance" in this culture should not exist as we know it because all marriages are arranged. The governing forces would likely burn such books because they would fill the heads of the youth with "silly" ideas. I could go on, but I hope I've made my point.

As I said, I really do like what you're trying to do here, but you need to put some more effort into the details if you're trying to take your readers to a different world. The basis of your ideas is pretty solid, and I can see the plot moving smoothly on that alone, but it's these little things that are really bugging me.
