Second Place

Zenith by Finnclarkson

Cover: 5/5

Grammar: 19/20

Plot: 22/25

Total: 46/50

Praise:

This book brings out how a person responds to the absence of a dearest one and to how much extent a person can go; here, that extent was the infinite realm of space. The main character, Finn, who lost his love to the infinity of space gets a hope and starts a whole new adventure from there. His hope and his mixed feelings towards success of his search is brought up in a beautiful manner, and the course of action is crystal clear. Every aspect of the story is balanced, and although a little more attention can be paid on character development, the rest is a remarkable work indeed!Best of luck for ahead ◉‿◉ — nike_of_notions, Sci-Fi judge

Third Place

The God Codex by evacharya

Cover: 5/5

Grammar: 20/20

Plot: 20/25

Total: 45/50

Praise:

This book brings out the real-life lament of how the different are treated as defected and not as a valuable invention in this world. The story is beautifully laid down, with two polar communities; one of them manipulates and eliminates young talent brutally while the other one represents acceptance. Every thought process and character is kept constant throughout the action, and the course of discovery of Dhalia's powers is written in a impressive manner. Although there is a need to pay more attention on character development and pace of story—at some places it's a little bit fast which can create confusion—the rest is a remarkable work!Best of luck for ahead ◉‿◉ — nike_of_notions, Sci-Fi judge
