| 6. Writing Style & Voice | • Prose quality (lyrical, minimalist, descriptive)
• Use of language (bilingual passages, dialect, idioms)

| 7. Cultural Representation | • Accuracy and sensitivity toward Romani traditions, customs, and stereotypes
• How the book contributes to Romani visibility in literature
• Potential pitfalls (exoticism, cultural appropriation) | “By embedding authentic Romani lullabies and festivals, the novel offers a rare insider’s perspective, yet it occasionally leans on clichéd ‘gypsy’ tropes when describing the community’s marginalization.” |

| 12. Audience & Suitability | • Who will enjoy it? (fans of romance, cultural studies, diaspora literature)
• Age appropriateness, content warnings (e.g., domestic violence, cultural oppression) | “Ideal for adult readers who appreciate culturally rich romance novels; not recommended for younger audiences due to scenes of intimate violence.” |
| 13. Overall Rating | • Choose a rating system (e.g., 5‑star, 10‑point) and justify the score | “4.2 / 5 stars – A beautifully lyrical love story that shines a light on an under‑represented culture, slightly hampered by uneven pacing.” |
