This Week's Star Reviewers
The stars seem aligned this time...

Let's welcome this week's ultimate star reviewers!

PenguinAttack
Aww c'mon! If you don't know this gal then you must be a hermit living under a rock. She's just one of YWS Global Moderators, you know! Not only that, she gives wonderfully helpful reviews and good writing advice, especially in her field of expertise, poetry.

Trident
Yes, yes, yes! The Trident is back to claim this position as a star reviewer! What's so special about him is that he can do so much reviews in one day, then after sitting all the while reading, he writes! A lot! Let's give him a pat in the back!

Hannah
Okay, any questions? Kidding! Well, there're no reason to discuss this further for it's very obvious that Hannah is still reigning as the Queen of the Green Room! Hannah, since her return, raids the literary section every now and then to give one of the best reviews YWS can find. Let's congratulate Ms. Hannah!

And that's the top three for the week. What you need to do next? Take inspiration in the work they've done and get reviewing!
