Book Reviews
I review Books!
My qualifications to review Books stem from a course in creative writing I did at the American University of Bulgaira (AUBG), my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, my Master's degree in History of Philosophy, my decades of experience writing fiction, and the fact that I have been hired to serve as a creative writing consultant on a number of projects.
I judge Books on what their Content is (the ideas they explore in a more conceptual regard, rather than the mechanisms of the plot and its implementation), on the Richness of their Expression (how pleasant the book was to read, how rich the language utilized is), and their Stories (the plot and whether it makes sense or not).
Remember that this, even if coated in a layer of 'objectivity', is ultimately subjective. My opinion and what-not.
Spreadsheet of Book Reviews
A table containing (almost) all of the Reviews I've composed regarding Books(including novelettes, as while multiple of them can fit in a single book, they are their own works).
Legend:
"Num" - refers to the order in which the Reviews have been composed, while also serving as a means of quantifying them;
"Name" - refers to the name of the Item that has been reviewed. If the name features a line underneath itself and a blue (or purple) coloring, that means it is a link that leads to that Item's full Review;
"Date" - refers to the date of the Review's initial publication;
"Score" - refers to the grade the Item has received as a result of its Review, with the scale ranging from zero [0] to ten [10];
"LP" - refers to whether or not the Item has received the "Legendary Point";
