Blue Lotus Awards, an opportunity for Indian writers. Your book can be of any genre. We accept all the genres. But there are limited entries.
You can be a...
Title- 6/10 The title is not perfectly matching with the story. I mean the title sounds like as if a child is searching for his mother whereas the actual story is that Avni is a soldier who has put stake on her life to save the innocent ones.
Blurb- 8/10 The blurb is nice. You could have added some dialogues from the story to make it more interesting.
Hook & plot- 10/15 The story was quite predictable so it didn't keep me hooked. The main thing is that the story is more of emotional than its mystery.
The plot is nice, I really appreciate that you wrote a story on the army.
Increased your curiosity- 2/5 No much but yes it did increase my curiosity a lot at the end before Avni slipped down.
Writing style & grammar- 8/10 The writing style is beautiful.
There were few grammatical errors & typos too. "..." are used unnecessarily somewhere, I mean one . Is enough to end a sentence. Most importantly instead of you "u" is used. I suggest you to write and instead of you.
Character development- 13/15 Considering it a one shot the Character development is good.
Followed- 10/10
Overall impression- 10/15 Overall i was very emotional reading the story but since it's placed under mystery genre so I can't give you much marks. Nonetheless the story is nice.
Cover- 7/10 The cover is not giving any vibes of mystery. I would suggest you to keep a dark, classy cover to make it look mysterious.
Title- 10/10 The title is perfect
Blurb- 10/10 The blurb is perfect
Hook & plot- 13/15 The plot was nice. Yes I was hooked.

Writing style- 6/10 The writing style is good, but I felt it needs little improvement.
There were some grammatical errors please take care of that.
Character development- 10/15 The Character development is ok. But I felt you could have given a Character sketch as I felt confusion in some parts when some of the other characters were suddenly introduced.
Does the author followed you - 10/10
Overall impression- 12/15 There were grammatical errors & the sudden introduction of the Characters were making disturbing the flow of the story, rest everything was ok. Overall the story was nice, I had a great time reading the story.

Title- 8/10 The title is nice but I feel it could have been more better
Cover- 8/10 The cover is beautiful
Blurb- 6/10 The blurb is nice. But you could have added few more paragraphs or dialogues from the story. It was short.
Hook and plot- 8/15 The plot was nice but since the mystery hasn't yet come so I wasn't much hooked.
Increased your curiosity- 2/5 The book was lacking the mystery part so it could not increase my curiosity much.
Writing style and grammar- 5/10 The writing style needs a lot of improvement. I see you use emojis and "...." My suggestion is you instead of giving an emoji express the emotion through your writing. And instead of so many dots use a si baat dot.
You need to pay attention to the grammar part.
Character development- 13/15 In this book avni's pov is given most of the times. I feel you show Neil's pov also. Both the Character should be shown at a right balance. Since the story is still ongoing I don't know whether you will write them in the future or not but I have judged till I have read.
Followed- 10/10
Overall impression- 13/15 Overall the story is nice but you have lost marks due to lack of mystery content in your story. Avoiding that it was a beautiful story. Pay attention to grammars and don't use emojis.
