Haha! Yeah me just being a little dramatic and excited.

You must be asking why?

Because I am here to announce the wonderful results for the Best Prologue category.

Yes a huge round of applause please.

And now the results..





The winner is

Username: KanhaiyakiSakhi9112
Book name: Roohi

Impression: (10/10) - The author's descriptive writing style and the use of a poem to introduce the story greatly impressed me, the lyrical prose pulling me into the book and encouraging me to read more.

Setting the Tone: (4/5) - The author successfully establishes the mood, and at least one major theme of the book (a light in the dark), though I am removing a point because it is unclear as to whether there will be more themes uncovered as we dive deeper into the story.

Grammar: (4/5) - I understand the prologue is written as a poem, but I had to remove a point for run-on sentences.

Total: (18/20)

The first runner up is..

Username: LiebeKlara
Book name: Love at Dawn

Impression: (7/10) - Though the first half of the prologue could be improved by writing more descriptive passages, the premise of the book successfully pulls the reader in and makes you want to read more.

Setting the Tone: (4/5) Though tone is slightly hindered by the difference in quality from the beginning of the prologue to the end of the prologue, the author successfully conveys the themes and mood of the book.

Grammar: (4/5) - Though the prologue is free of both grammatical and punctuation errors, the first half of the introduction is not nearly as descriptive as the second half.

Total: (15/20)

The second runner up is

Username: Kikibtsstan

Book: Mystical Mutant

Impression: (6/10) - While the author successfully pulls you into her story and makes you want to read more, the prologue feels rushed and the material would do better as the first chapter of the story, where the characters, their cultures, and their worlds can be explored at a greater length. 

Setting the Tone: (3/5) - While the author successfully establishes the themes and mood as they are related to the Elevanas and the Glorindians, these two mystical races are taken out of play at the beginning of the story, leaving the reader to wonder what the theme and mood of the remaining story will surround.

Grammar: (2/5) - Though the sentences are descriptive and grammatically correct, there are errors in punctuation throughout.

Total: (11/20)

The third runner up is..

Username: lostlovefairy
Book: Not My Little Sister

Impression: (3/10) - Though the prologue is well-written and concise, it is, perhaps, too concise. Due to its length and the addition of previous awards, the prologue lacks detail and fails to create a strong emotional bond between the characters and readers.

Setting the Tone: (3/5) - While the prologue better establishes the themes and mood of the book, its length still diminishes the author's desired effect.

Grammar: (4/5) - Other than a couple of punctuation errors, everything looks good.

Total: (10/20)

The fourth runner up is..

Username: Kmytho

Book: Lawws of Emotions

Impression: (3/10) - Though the author's concept for this book is intriguing, the errors in both punctuation and grammar prevent me from wanting to read more.

Setting the Tone: (5/5) - Despite its errors, and though it is difficult to read, the author successfully establishes the themes and mood of this story.

Grammar: (1/5) - There are grammatical and punctuation errors throughout, making the prologue difficult to read.

Total: (9/20)
