🌻 First of all, I would like to congratulate all the participants. I would also like to thank my co-judge, Kittydavan for her/his incredible work.

🌻The results are below.

🌻We are here to improve ourselves, it doesn't matter as long as you have given your best. Every time you do something ask yourself if have given your best. And if the answer is yes. Then you are always the winner. You do not need a person like me to award you. You are always a winner.

🌻Let me be clear, there are 2 sets of works judged by different people, their judging styles might be different. So what I am trying to say is that the winners are not chosen based on their marks. Marks are just a number. The winners are chosen based on their skills and talent.

🌻 Book Title- Stockholm

Author Name- darkhaven4ever

Genre- Mystery/thriller.

Title & Cover- (8.5/10)

The title is the perfect way of expressing that the captive is fond of her captors.

The cover has a picture that was some kind of thing that didn't work out well with the title. But I guess, it had hidden meaning in it.

Though the title works well, there is some sort of place for subtitles or any other suitable contexts.

Title- 4.5 because of Stockholm syndrome relevance.

Cover - 4 yet-to-be makeovers with subtitles or some relevant information. Even the picture on the cover can be more detailed.

Blurb- (4.5/5)

The blurb is fascinating and urges me to read more.

The first chapter holds up the book very well indeed.

Only some unanswered questions, but will be revealed in upcoming chapters.

The Plot is uniquely designed.

The non-linear narrative way needs more accuracy.

Details - (15/20)

Some places need to be explained there themselves.

As it is a non-linear narrative style, the past scenes and present scenes representations are to be highlighted crucially.

Some places lack details.

Style -(12/15)

The style of writing was quite acceptable to the Mystery and thriller genres.

The non-linear narrative style is used perfectly.

The first chapter's connection with succeeding chapters is explained very well.

There is another narrative style, which is the Viewpoint narrative style.

The viewpoints change among the Protagonists.

Flow of the story - 8/10

The flow is not affected by the non-linear narration.

That's why the mystery of the captors is yet to be revealed.

Flow is affected only in the random viewpoint narrative changeover.

Overall Enjoyment - 4 / 5

There are so many unknown people and unanswered questions. They will be uncovered. Because that's what the mystery/thriller is.

So, it will be a nice book for mystery seekers.

But the author should maintain this pace and mystery until the very end, then only it will be intriguing.

Total - 84 /100.

🌻Book Title- Weird and Wonderful.

Author Name- daydreamingatnight19.

Genre- Mystery/thriller.

Title & Cover- (8.5/10)

•The title is uniquely designed and the cover is simple.

But the cover has a hidden message. The title is apt for the story so 5/5.

•For the cover, I think, it can be better. So 3.5/5, only for the visibility and hidden message of the font(letters) and picture.

Blurb- (3.5/5)

•The Blurb was quite intriguing, attracting the readers to read more about why and how they are connected by the plot, etc.,

•But, the author used a non-linear narrative, yet it needed to be done that way, but the author can make it more lenient. As another type of reader, I felt some scenarios in the blurb were not connected, how the author wants them to be.

Grammar and Spelling- (13 /15)

•There were no grammatical errors yet some typo errors can be rectified by editing.

•Vocabulary usage was a notable work by the author.

•Some words are misplaced like some prior words were replaced with other words, as maths sir changed into maths mam.

Plot (16.5/20)

•Some plot holes where I figured they may be put in more than ample. But it was engraved in that manner to provide some weird and wonderful endings.

•Child abuse by other children goes unnoticed by all grown-ups, which gave me a scattered heart.

•The protagonist kills his friend, though the so-called friend is evil that doesn't mean a killer can be wandering freely.

Details - (15/20)

•The male protagonist is abused by all his friends which leads to this kill. But, we can't figure out why the male protagonist is unsuspected by others.

•The ample details were delivered very well.

•The female protagonist is the main protagonist in this story. Details of the main protagonists and poems were written very well.

•But there are some places where the details were unanswered like, who said to the physics sir about her disappointment towards the evaluation of her theory in the test paper.

•The author's connectivity between the first chapter and the almost starting of the climax chapter has some unanswered questions like the protagonist was the not-soon-to-the-dead mentality in the first chapter, but her mentality is changing in the 20th chapter which was the same scenario.

Style -(12/15)

•The style of writing was quite acceptable to the Mystery and thriller genres.

•The non-linear narrative style usage may need some makeover.

•Throughout the story, the protagonist's past and future life by the narration of the author change in between past and present years, so in some places, the author needs to be in the same required year, before solving some unanswered questions.

•The last few chapters can be written with more perspectives. They were just narrated neglecting the emotional pieces.

Flow of the story - 6.5/10

•The flow is not affected by the non-linear narration. But, the last few chapters of the climax showed the rush pace.

•However, Reading in the last two chapters only, we can find who that boy, the female protagonist, is looking for these years. Maybe the author thought it was used for the genre plotline.

•But, the relationship between those two other main male characters was rushed, miserable and mainly this was not in a typical way to describe the misery to someone, yet the female protagonist after all that time, accepted her long-lost love's flaws with only one question, on the spot, without any contradictions.

• Maybe the epilogue is shorter to build up the curiosity, but it was not adequate.

Overall Enjoyment -3.5/ 5

•I thought the only drawback of this story is the climax part, but I accepted the ending because it's unique rather than typical stories like the dead man didn't pop out somewhere, but the narration of the last few chapters mainly the past is not so connected like how I felt the pain of female and male protagonist's misery in prior chapters.

•The man who wrote those beautiful lines was lost due to fame.

•Overall, This is a weird and wonderful novella for heartwarming story readers, mysterious maybe out of the line while we travel to the end.

Total - 78.5/100.
