The Lunar Awards 2020

Judging Criteria

The Judges need to read the first five chapters of the book. It's up to you if you read the prologue. Of course you can keep reading if you were caught on the story but please only judge the first 5 chapters.

There is also a prize for the judges!

- A shoutout

- A follow

- An unique sticker

- Your book will be read + commented on (if you have one)

All you need to do for this is to give us the results on time AND you need to write a full review on the story (first 5 chapters) on the book with the highest score. Write sentences to all the points below, constructive critism is welcomed. The best review gets the prize.

Thank you and good luck!
