I’m continuing my review of the 25 books on the Shortlist. At this stage, I have completed 4 out of 25.
During the Second Phase of Judging, I read the first 10 chapters of every shortlisted book. This allows me to assess structure, voice, pacing, character development, worldbuilding, and narrative cohesion before selecting the four Official Winners.
Meanwhile, the Reader’s Vote remains open, and readers can vote inline for their favourite book until the winners are announced.
The Muse advances. The judging continues.
