Review: A great book and I won't be surprised if it wins. Seems like some bestseller novel. Again, as usual, I read up more than five chapters (around ten in this case). While the other books have plot alright, this one has plot AND the grammar...which means beauty with brains in case of books. This book is amazing and trying to say anything more will be kind of insulting this book. Even I cannot nitpick so much... #sweatingfromcornerofyellowface emoji...

Review:- FINALLY! This book is one of those rare books of its kind where the writing style did not make it seem haphazard. Nice aesthetics lended to the book and written picturesquely in parts. Good language and should strike well with Grammar Nazis too. Side characters have depth and there is a subtle touch of reality through the plot, often ignored in books of this genre. Well written. It is evident that the book has been given a lot of thought by the author and as a reader I appreciate it, so.. for this book! :-)

SECOND PLACE (Runner-up)
🥈Destiny by Mirha5 - Total: 91/100 🥈
Score:
Title: 4/5
The title is a bit boring, but it fits the story.
Cover: 5/5
Cover is eye-catching with bold colours and fits with story.
Summary: 5/5
Summary leaves you wanting to read further, which is always a good sign.
Grammar/spelling/punctuation: 10/10
There were hardly any mistakes, perfect!
Page arrangement: 8/10
Paragraphs are too long and there needed to be spaces between sentences and phrases (when someone new spoke). Long paragraphs make it harder to read for the reader, you can always begin a new paragraph for new topics, when someone spoke and/or new day or week.
Originality: 9/10
There are a lot of strong female characters from books out in the world, but this main character was different. The setting and storyline of the book were also unique.
Interest: 9/10
The chapters ending was so written that you just wanted to read more or find out what was going to happen next. That way it kept my interest and I believe would keep other readers interest too. It was a bit hard to read, for my culture differ from the main characters and had too google what some of the words meanings where, but I still enjoyed it.
Main character: 9/10
Main character develops from a flat character to a strong well-rounded character. There are sometimes a bit flaws in her development, but they are minor.
Side characters: 9/10
There is a lot of characters in book, which can sometimes be confusing, but there is a clear line between the characters that matter to the development of the main character and those who do not.
Continuity/reality check: 5/5
There is a lot of emotion written in this book, which gives it a very real feeling. The book is also very detailed which contribute to it too.
Plot development: 18/20
Plot developed a bit slow in the beginning of book, but later it became better. The plot developed around and with the character and was pretty good. Writer could maybe work on it a little bit.
Review: Destiny is a very detailed book especially on emotions and events that are or where taking place. Writer wrote a beautiful setting for book and felt so real when I read it. This book was really inspiring especially the main character. Writer should keep going, this book really is unique, and I believe could get far.

Review: I have to say that the summary is very fascinating and gripping, it immediately got me hooked and interested in the story, so great job on that one. I also liked the way that you started with a poem; this poem itself is well written and to be honest, I don't see many authors do this so bonus points on the originality. Overall, I really liked this story. It has me mesmerized in it and I honestly love it. I really don't have much else to say about it.

Review: While I don't generally like it that when I open a story and the first 'paragraph' starts with a literal single word, I do like it in this case. You started relatively simply but then slowly build it up. I also liked the immediate relation to the title - 'lost in blue', when put in that way it sounds almost philosophical. Something I do like to point out to you is that instead of using something like 'haha', just describe the sound. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. Great job.
