Review: I almost fell in love with Anarchy Against Order, by Ria, the moment I saw it. The title is creative and has this ring to it that makes it so compelling. After reading the first chapter, I saw that it fit the plot too. The cover drew my attention as well. If destruction could be beautiful, then Anarchy Against Order would have the most gorgeous cover I've ever seen. It too is relevant to the story. My impression of the blurb, however, was not as stellar as the title and cover. Though it does give significant and relevant points from the story, I wasn't as captured by it. Perhaps it is because some of the information seems extraneous or perhaps it is the flow. Whatever the case, I was not as impressed by the blurb as I was the cover and title.

The small fraction of me that hadn't immediately fallen in love at first sight was quickly won over when I began reading the book. I was immediately thrown into a mysterious dystopian world with characters who are interesting and unique yet relatable. Not only that, but the style in which the story is written is humorous, light, and fun. It balances the serious plot completely. I loved every second I stayed in that story.

Of course, Anarchy Against Order does have its weaknesses. There are a few minor grammatical errors, and the dialogue can be tediously boring with the repetition of "said." At times, I found the humorous writing style to be a tad immature, though that was rare. Overall, Anarchy Against Order is a beautiful piece that is quite the read.

Review: Ananya Sreen's narrative The Thing About Forever, has been one of the more enjoyable reads. It too has its strengths and weaknesses, but overall, it is on the higher scale of things.

The title caught my eye almost immediately. The cover did as well. Both, I found shortly after I began to read, are relevant to the plot, and so I adore them both. As for the blurb, though on the short side, it hits the right notes with the details provided and flows perfectly. In other words, my first impression of The Thing About Forever was positive.

Sreen's writing is strong. I did not find many grammatical errors and there is variety in the written words. (However, I would prefer a little more.) My one complaint, and the one thing that marred my enjoyment of the piece, is the length of the chapters. There is absolutely nothing wrong with long chapters—nothing, I assure you. But, in Sreen's case, I can name a few places that would be the perfect ending, yet the chapter goes on. This makes the writing thick and a little hard to swallow. It is the only reason why I had some difficulty reading it at times. Beyond that, I found The Thing About Forever to be a beautifully written piece. With much certainty I can say this: The Thing About Forever has a bright future full of potential. I very much look forward to seeing it.

Review: Elena Paradise's The Legend of Marmoris was an interesting read for me. Admittedly, I was uncertain of what to expect when I began judging. What I found I liked well enough.

I first gleaned my impression of the book from the title, cover, and blurb. In regards to the title, I absolutely adore it. It is mysterious, as it should be, and fits the plot well. The cover is a bit puzzling. Beyond that, I find it's perfect. The way it coincides with the mood and tone of the story is phenomenal. When compared to the title and cover, the blurb is underwhelming. I can't tell if it is the way it's written, its flow, or the information that's provided. Whatever the case, it didn't capture my attention the way The Legend of Marmoris's title and cover did.

The story itself is adequate. I like the plot; I find it intriguing. However, it could be executed better. Like the blurb, the story does not flow as well as it could. Written pieces all have a cadence, and if you master said cadence, your story is halfway there to winning an award. Needless to say, Paradise's writing needs some polishing in that aspect, and it had some effect on my overall enjoyment.

All in all The Legend of Marmoris was not (at all) a terrible read. With a few adjustments, I know it has the potential to go far!

Review: The idea behind Lola Ovayoza's piece Alyssa, is an intriguing one, I must admit. It is what drew me back to the story despite the many (grammatical) errors I noted.

Unfortunately, from grammar's standpoint, Alyssa is not the best. While I read, I saw a few omitted words, several incorrect word choices, and many spelling errors. (I noted other mistakes too.) These flaws impacted my enjoyment as well as the maturity of the author's tone. That being said, I do understand some of the word choices and even applaud Ovayoza for them. The narration matches the main character's personality and life experiences. I have much respect for authors who get into character when writing books.

If I needed to summarize my thoughts on the story in one sentence, I'd say that despite its flaws, Alyssa has "must read" written all over it. I look forward to witnessing its rise to its potential!

Review:  Full of happiness's debut novel, Our Disconnected Love Story, is a cute and enjoyable read with interesting characters and an interesting story line. At first, I wasn't sure how much I'd like the story, but in the end, it exceeded my expectations.

My uncertainty was first sparked from the title, cover, and blurb. This is because the vibes I got were so, so conflicting. I love the title; I love the cover, but the blurb is not my favorite. At times, I found it to be a slight bit choppy, and some of the information provided to be extraneous.

Though I did enjoy reading Our Disconnected Love Story, I did note many weaknesses. For one thing, the story flits between present and past tense, seemingly at random. For another, there isn't much variety in sentence structure or vocabulary. Because of this, the narration might feel immature. On the other hand, Full of happiness's story has several strengths. The most notable is its plot/characters. Both are intriguing and will leave you wanting more.

Overall, Our Disconnected Love Story, though in need of small adjustments, has the potential to be an absolute must-read.

Review:  It's My Story by Divine is an intriguing but perplexing piece. Like all works, it has its strengths and its weaknesses. As I read it, I noticed many of both.

My first impressions of the story were from the title, cover, and blurb. The title interested me slightly, but it wasn't the real pull factor. (I feel it could be more original. I do like the fact that it is logical as it is based on the author.) I was pulled in by the blurb and cover.The cover is absolutely perfect. It fits the mood and looks beautiful. Because I only read the first five chapters, I do not know whether or not it is relevant to the story. though so far it seems to fit. As for the blurb, it is definitely fascinating. I do however wish there is a summary of some sort to help readers understand the plot.

I promptly found myself confused shortly after I began reading. I could not discern the plot other than the story being about teen drama. Furthermore, the first chapter is overwhelming. Many details and many characters are introduced in it almost immediately. I believe the author could have brought the characters in more slowly, and used more dialogue for a more artistic entrance. Furthermore, my confusion increased with the tense changes and some other grammatical errors. (There aren't too many, just a few.) The vocabulary could be stronger as well. For example, I found that "said" and "asked" are used a lot for dialogue. I will admit that my confusion marred my overall enjoyment a bit.

It's My Story of course has redeeming qualities, namely Divine's unique writing style. It will be a defining trait in her future as a writer, whether she chooses to pursue it as a hobby or career. I look forward to seeing how it progresses and grows!

Review: Interesting year you choose! I’d expect the characters to have more unique names? Just because it’s so much in the future and names now are starting to get a little bizarre. Who knows? Maybe in the future the name Buttercup is popular! I loved the descriptions you use. It created a perfect image in my head, as I was reading it felt like a movie. A lot of writers struggle to not come off as monotone and your writing is literally velvet! It’s so smooth and perfect, I cannot find enough positive words for it. My heart goes out to this book and I truly hope it wins first place.

Review: The writing style is a little wonky, but it’s like that sometimes if you switch between a computer and your phone. It looks like you made accidental spaces in your paragraphs and I’ve noticed that some sentences are cut off. Please please fix that for future judging. I was majorly confused, I’m not sure if it's a bug but it was really distracting. Appearances of the book, cover, title, blurb-wise, this book is near PERFECT.
