We would like to give special thanks to the judge for taking the time out and providing her views on all ten book well before the deadline.

It was great having you on the team! We hope to work with you again.

We urge the contestants to write a thank you shout-out for her as well as the other judges.

CHARACTER - THE DRAMA QUEEN

The purpose of this specialty award was to take a well-recognised character troupe and see how various authors interpret them. While looking for typical characterizations about what makes a character 'prone to dramatic actions,' we also looked into the following:

[1] The reasoning behind said characterization

[2] How does this character affect their life

[3] How does this character affect the lives of those around them

[4] Character evolution/de-evolution

The scores, in this instance, display how well the character conforms to the above norms.

AND THE LUNAR AWARD FOR BEST DRAMA QUEEN GOES TO

AUTHOR Karran

BOOK TITLE Aurum and Argentum

SCORE 48.5/50

Aurum is hot-headed, impulsive, flamboyant and fits the character requirement perfectly. What makes him unique is the way you have developed his story- he is both an asset to the storyline when the mood needs to be shifted, as well as a breakpoint when his character shows through. Well done! 

AUTHOR Smileyfacecompany

BOOK TITLE Boom, Crash, Pow

SCORE 47/50

Mellisa, through her unashamed actions, shows how stereotyped superheroes are, while conforming to the same flaw herself. 

AUTHOR ESHurricane

BOOK TITLE Persephone

SCORE 45.5/50

Our primary judges looked for the best action/adventure book, with special reference to the following scenes:

[1] Effective scene depiction, especially scenes which present danger/excitement (fights, quests, the reasoning behind such activities)

[2] Plot holes and inconsistencies of characterization
