The Lunar Awards 2020

Important Update for the Judges

Just to give you a little example of what the review should look like, I made one myself about my own story "Moonshine".

The review shall be in such a pattern but of course you can write it the way you want and be creative! Just to give some the idea who never did this before.

°°°°°

"Moonshine" by MountainChild01

Cover: 6/10

The cover is pretty and it definitely fits to the theme of the book. The colors don't give too much of a contrast and the main character is clearly visible. But overall it seems to be a little plain. Maybe some more details could be added, so it catches the attention of the readers.

Blurb: 5/10

On first sight the blurb definitely catches a readers attention but it's way too short and it doesn't give enough information about the actual plot. Maybe make it a little more detailed.

Language: 5/10

The story is readable and the grammar isn't the worst, but the vocabulary is pretty limited and there are a lot of punctation mistakes. Maybe try to fix those and the story will flow a lot better!

Creativity: 17/20

The story is creative. I never read anything like that before and Freja definitely is a very unique character! She is strong, sassy and has a lot of humor, while still being able to stay serious. Also the connection of her and Jace and especially Raphael was a little on the more unique side. At the first moment it seemed a little mainstream tho because Jace immediately fell for Freja.

Plot: 19/20

The plot of the story is unique and very interesting. The pacing is just right. Things didn't happen too early but also not too late. It was pretty realistic. Also no plotholes could be found.

Aesthetics: 5/10

At the first look it looked tidy, but while reading I was missing some paragraphs. Well, to be honest, there weren't any paragraphs at all. It made it a lot harder to read and didn't look as nice. Also including the italics didn't fit too well.

Overall enjoyment: 18/20

Disregarding the spelling mistakes and the missing paragraphs I really enjoyed reading the story. It was very interesting and I couldn't stop reading. Would definitely pick up more books like that. Thank you for that experience! Don't give up!

°°°°°

As you can see, it wasn't really detailed. You can put more details in but honestly, I didn't want to dive into reviewing my own story that much.

Don't forget that the judge with the best review gets a price too!

Also don't forget that the due date is the 20th of August!

Thank you for your help and we look forward to read your amazing reviews!
