Book Title - Midnight Arson
Score - 87/100

Title
The title successfully expresses an event that helps begin the story, but it doesn't really fit the entire story. If this book were more about Ranboo and that first night that led to death and the fire, this title would be more fitting. But the story continues into a mystery of the journal and terrorism. So only part of this story fits into the title.

Cover
The candle and fire has certainly become a symbol in the story, but the problem with it is similar to the problem with the title. The candle is a symbol in the story, but is not so significant enough to be the only thing on the cover. If the designer of the cover were to either add more to it or make a cover that was about the main parts of the story, like Ranboo's journal, the story and the cover would be more in sinc.

Blurb
The blurb was great. It was simple and informative, but didn't give the story away. The only problem was I was hoping that it would draw me more to the story, but while the blurb was well written, it didn't hook you like it should.

Originality
While fanfiction authors base their stories on other stories, it does take a significant amount of creativity to continue the story. I think the author of this story succeeded with that.

Grammar
The grammar was on point. I didn't see a single error.

Character
Every character was interesting. They all had clear fears, and the relationships between each, however complicated, were clear. To add more things that might draw the readers more, you can add a few quirks or small, interesting parts to the character. Even if fanfiction authors use the characters from other books, shows, and movies, they can still add to the character, making them more interesting in the long run. If there are already existing quirks to the character from the original artist that made them, you can also make those more clear.

Plot/Structure
To have good structure and a good plot is definitely sometimes difficult to accomplish. However, this author did very well in these topics.

Style/Voice
I can't compare the fanfiction author to the original artist who made this because I don't know their styles very well. Regardless, I was hoping for something more unique in the voice of this author. I'm sure the style of this author is pretty great, so I would suggest the author to "broadcast" the author's voice and style more, so to speak. Perhaps by really taking advantage of their strengths in writing and working on their weaknesses.

Book Title - The Ballad of Lucy Gray
Score - 90/100
Review -

Title
The title fits the story well and honestly, has a nice ring to it.

Cover
The cover is pretty, but nothing really stands out with it. The story itself is really good, and a really good title would fit it better. The designer could add some symbols to the cover and maybe add either a small quote from the book or a phrase that explains something significant in the book. Maybe something about the crossroads Lucy faces in the book. Also, the title on the cover would look better if it were more centered on the cover.

Blurb
The blurb is well written, but the author should add more of Lucy Gray's mental experience. I imagine with Lucy Gray being so alone, there's plenty of ways and time for her emotional state to grow.

Originality
This story was very interesting, as a way to continue Lucy Gray's story. And the author wrote it in a very intriguing way.

Grammar
There were a few grammatical mistakes, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Character
As usual, Lucy Gray's character is very unique. So far, the author has written the characters very well and in a very intriguing way, like they're meant to be written.

Plot/Structure
The structure of the story was paced well. I just hope that once Lucy Gray decides which path to go on, the story won't be rushed. The plot began in an exciting way. But I think this story needs more of a plot twist. Something that no one will see coming. Could Lucy Gray still be secretly in love with Snow? Does someone important to her die? This story could also improve if Lucy Gray visited somewhere and learned more about Snow. This could definitely add to more character in the story and help continue Snow's.

Style/Voice
The author is very good at physical descriptions, as well as organizing the story in a clear and intriguing way. But if the author could add more to the emotional and mental states of the characters, they should.

Book Title - The Princess Without a Crown
Score - 93/100
Review -

Title
The title was definitely exciting. But I just couldn't see how it fit into the story. In what I read, nothing was mentioned of a princess or a crown. Did the crown symbolize something, or the title fit more to later parts of the book?

Cover
The cover was pretty amazing. The designer definitely fit everything needed in there, and made sure it was related to the story itself. A very well done job.

Blurb
The blurb was well written, drawing, and gave a sense of what the story was about without giving any spoilers.

Originality
The characters and plot were definitely exciting. The author did a good job steering clear of cliches. But I couldn't find anything that really stood out. There were definitely hints of uniqueness in the characters and settings, but nothing that completely stood out in a different way.

Grammar
The grammar was mostly good, but the author is underusing commas a lot. This made the story a little harder to read.

Character
The characters were exciting and were obviously well thought out. They were very detailed. They had fears, hopes, desires. They had everything a person in real life would have. The only problem is that I was hoping the author would take these characters and add some unique perspectives or quirks to them. But the author didn't.

Plot/Structure
The plot was paced well and was very well done. The author didn't delay too much in the beginning, which can be very hard not to do. In the future, I would like to see more in how the events in the beginning lead up to the ones in the future of the book. The structure of the book was well thought out, and I thought it was pretty good.

Style/Voice
The style of the author is very detailed and descriptive, with a dark touch to it. I think this benefited this story well. Because the descriptions are already almost flawless, in the future, I would advise the author to spend a little time bringing the plot, character, and other parts of the story up to the level of the setting and description. This would help perfect the story.
