The Leopard Awards 2018 (Closed for JUDGING)

Fantasy after round one

There are currently quite a few ties between books. If you have the same score as another book and theirs is listed above yours, that's just because I put it in alphabetical order. The rest of the order is the current placements! If you have any questions please comment them in the chapter "Questions". All full reviews are in the Judge review book!

Judges for round two:

1. Dance of the Light and Shadows by JohanValentine

Total: 50/50

Review: To begin, holy moly absolutely the most gorgeous cover I have ever seen, I'm in love. Details, wonderful details and exquisite grammar that I'm swooning for. I love the names of your characters, they're so unique. I can picture your scenes perfectly in my mind as I'm reading. I'm honestly blown away by your writing, good job! I would honestly come back to read it as a normal reader.

2. Beyond Legend: The Unbreakable Kingdom by Thomas-LF 

Total : 47/50

Review: I love kickass characters and Ailith is definitely one of them! Your writing is beautiful and just gave me another reason to keep on reading! This book is definitely worth checking out!  

2. Fate's Exchange by SashaLeighS

Total: 47/50

Review: Wow I'm honestly in awe. Even just from the description I was hooked, and the actual writing didn't disappoint! I could barely find any faults in your grammar, and your descriptions were great! I especially loved when you said "delinquent outreach thingamajiggy". I may or may not have laughed out loud. Your plot sounds like it's on an amazing path! Keep up the amazing work!

2.Into Aether by Katreadsabook

Total: 47/50

Review: This book has a very distinct feeling that is different from the others. The cover and the writing compliment each other perfectly which is why I gave them a high rating. The story has a nice flow and I'm curious where it will be heading. 

2. The Gathering, Bloodmoure Chronicles by JRShepherd

Total : 47/50

Review : Okay, I love this book. I had such a hard time not pressing the vote button while I
was reading. I don't want to say too much other than that people should definitely check it
out! 

2. The Talisman by ESJohnson

Total : 47/50

Review: One of the most important things about fantasy is to take the reader into another world and the author does a fantastic job! While I was reading I actually had the feeling that I was sitting next to Azade and listening to her. I will definitely keep on reading after the awards are over! 

6. Serenade by JJRothschild

Total: 46/50

Three Sentence Review: It's a fascinating idea that I think was executed well. Character growth is evident and well-placed for when the protagonist meets his mate, it softens his outlook on humanity. However, the actual logistics behind the "higher" beings and their society are vague in the beginning and may benefit from a bit more information woven into the narrative.
