Sea Happenings

Aurora Obscura by Lleij Schwartz	Arc Sagas by Myth Cross	The Ocean by The Big G
The inclusion of specific details (e.g., organophosphates, hazmat suits, phosphorus contamination) gives the piece a sense of realism and believability. Adding well-researched details helps ground the fictional writing with real-world-sounding science or technology; enhancing the credibility of the narrative.	A valuable lesson is the balance between descriptive imagery and pacing. While detailed descriptions are essential, it is important to maintain narrative flow by not overwhelming the reader with too much detail at once.	The tone is consistent throughout. Each expression is explained succinctly, making the content accessible without unnecessary elaboration. It hints at a rich history and ties language to the environment; making the setting feel lived-in.

Shows subtle changes in the Well's influence through character reactions and environmental changes are more impactful than just stating them.	This one fluctuates between historical exposition and narrative description, with a focus on humanizing key figures.

The use of headings and subheadings to structure a dense topic, makes the complex political and legal issues accessible and engaging.	A key takeaway is the importance of metaphors to tie abstract emotional concepts to physical, tangible elements. This enhances the reader's connection to the narrative and deepens the impact of the world-building.

Oxdara by JoebiWanKenobi316	Daimon by Royalfa	The Sorrow of Souls Quartet by Caitlin Phillips
The author makes it easy to follow and understand the Lord's role. It is not particularly wordy, but it does this job in introducing the setting and expectations.	Does an excellent job of drawing in readers. It is just yay short of being its own hook for an adventure.	A portrayal of familial bonding that incorporates the sense of a warm touch as part of a very visual setting.
