Scavenge the Stars
by Tara Sim
Character: I found Amaya and Cayo enjoyable characters. They're these messy people trying to work through their issues.
Definitely an A for diversity. POC present. Cayo is bisexual. There's a non-binary character.
Score 7/10.
Atmosphere: The setting and world building is pretty genetic to be honest. It's a coastal city and that's about all we get. I mean we get descriptions of food, which I think added to the world building and feel but.... It was pretty lacking. 5/10.
Writing style: Enjoyable to read but there was jarring jargon that felt out of place at times. 8/10.
Plot: I think the dual points of view worked really well here. I wasn't expecting some of the plot twists. Like I knew a few seemingly good characters were sketchy and not to be trusted but I didn't see a lot of the events unfolding the way they did. It's one of those "I guessed it I just didn't guess the exact details." 7/10.
Intrigue: I was interested enough to want to know what's happening. 8/10.
Logic: The events were explained well enough that I could buy the various twists. 8/10.
Enjoyment: 8/10.
Total: 50
Score: 7
