A collection of reviews I made for the Fireworks Awards hosted by @wi_se_gi_rl , which made at least half the score of 70 points in total and thus I recommend for new readers' attention The reviews here are posted with permission of the stories' authors and are not general reviews, but rather short inspections according the contest's rubrics. They are published to allow the authors to see how they reached their score in the contest Please, pleasepleaseplease, bear in mind these reviews are simply reflections of how each story has been perceived by me personally - focusing on general attributes and topics that could have been elaborated/explored further as well as personal preferences - they do not intend to diminish the authors' hard work and in NO way represent a wider audience! I would like to point out that the reviews are really short excerpts, and due to that nature are mainly focusing on what could be improved/ was missing in my opinion as a reader - if something stood out to me, be it positive or negative, it is included in a simple short phrase ALL of the posted works here are stories I recommend to read, even those which did not meet my personal interests, because they are all great works! Have a look, you might be just as surprised upon those hidden gems as I was

*SHADOWHUNTERS MEETS ACOTAR* Featured novel in TheFaeFolk's Wisdom from the Masters. Eraphim Volcron died four thousand years ago to save the life of his apprentice's mate. He has wandered in the shadows for four millennium, and with each day grows more sure that he made a mistake of agreeing to his inexperienced protégé's plan. But there is a way to return to the Land of the Living, one who's minds that have not turned insane have avoided at all costs. Because to fail in that contest means to be erased from all Four Realms entirely, as if you never existed. But to win would mean the God of Death would return the winner to life. When he receives word from a recently deceased soldier bearing news of events that he should have been there for, he has no choice but to participate in them. Brutal betrayals, literal world-shattering secrets, allies with hidden agendas, and monsters wearing beautiful masks who speak sweet promises are all around him as he competes for the ultimate prize of a second life.

"No!" Hermione's beautiful, pain-filled voice tore through me. I spun and watched as she sank to the earth, tears streaming down her porcelain cheeks. My gaze flew to what she was staring at, and the air was knocked out of me as if by an invisible punch to the gut. Wendell Granger had blood dripping from his nose and ears. His black, empty eyes were staring into the sky, and his chest was as still as the ground he lay upon. 𝙉𝙤! Hermione had been so strong, so brave the whole time and to have it all break apart at the last moment had set my blood on fire, engulfing me with rage.

At the heart of Amberguarde lies Stormvein Institute, a fortress where heirs of noble houses, warlocks, paladins, and summoners are trained to master the three great forces-Solar, Lunar, and Astral. But beneath its towering halls of living stone, rivalry runs deeper than magic. Macey Rinaria, the so-called Mad Mage, bears lunar power too volatile to control. Haunted by whispers and a past drowned in fire, she knows one misstep could shatter more than her reputation. Connor Heslington, son of a knightly dynasty, carries the weight of his family's Astral legacy. His oath is to order, not chaos-and certainly not to mages like Macey. When their clash in the lecture hall spirals into a duel that awakens forbidden powers, the two are forced onto a collision course that could tear apart the fragile peace between their houses. Fog conceals secrets. Glyphs hum with warning. And as ancient forces stir-Hinara, Ceao, and Gilgamesh-the truth becomes clear: Stormvein is not a sanctuary. It is a battleground. Magic is rivalry. Rivalry is survival. Began: 7.02.2019 Completed: 21.04.2020 Rewrite: 15.09.2025
