Refurbished: The Clover Initiative by Michelle Monárrez
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Some more thought out than others
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well Content Warnings: CWs: violence Full review score indicates my personal score for the novel, not my Indie Ink judging score(s). Solid start to this series, I do love a nice fast-paced little sci-fi novel nearly always. Intriguing ideas and world-building! |

Angels Before Man by Rafael Nicolás
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Ambiguous Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Easy to switch to other tasks Emotional Response: Didn’t feel much
Thought Provoking: Focus on the story solely
Cover: Matches the story well Content Warnings: CWs: violence, body horror, animal death + cruelty Did not finish book. Stopped at 71% due to reading for a specific category for Indie Ink that this novel did not match from my read in the Writing the Future We Need categories. |

The Name-Bearer (Flowers of Prophecy #1) by Natalia Hernandez
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Some more thought out than others
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: Focus on the story solely
Cover: Matches the story well Content Warnings: Minor CWs: bullying, trafficking, blood, death, threat of sexual violence This was a really interesting novel, although there were odd breaks in the progress of the overall story arc as the protagonist went from one portion of the setting/story to another. This created a slightly disjointed reader experience for me. World building was distinctive. |
