Here's what, I put in almost all my reviews, or at least try to put -
I start with the Star Rating, like how much I rated the book, I put it there, so people know my rating? or if it's half stars or something!
Next, I put the book and author, so people just know, I guess, and with that, I say, some random things about the book, like is it hyped, and did I like it, etc.
Then, I usually put the plot, so there are two parts to this, the first part, is the book plot, in that, I just summarize, what happened in the book, so technically, I just write the plot of the book, the second part is, what I thought about the plot, did I like it or not, etc.
Next, I add the writing, what I thought about the writing was it good, bad, confusing, etc.
Sometimes, I also add the world, it depends though, if the book, is not Earth, a normal life, or something, you can't really add, this to that.
A lot of the times, I also add extra, things like the romance or the ending, just something, I really want to talk about, or I think people should know, something like that
Then, I add the characters, where I explain what I think about the characters, so I make a list of characters I though were important in the book, and explain a things about them, the characters, like characters personality, and my thought about him/her, etc. Sometimes I also write a brief, explanation of why, I chose, to write about the characters I did.
I do sometimes also add random thoughts, this is where, I write things, I don't know where to put, but I need to put in the review.
Last, but not least, I add final thoughts or overall where, I just write my last thoughts about the book!
I also add, quotes ad gifs, according, to what, I wrote, I add gifs more, cause they're more fun, it's your choice though!
Now this is actually, the last thing, I sometimes, add, extra, things, that make no sense at all, but I still add them, that's me being weird (lmao!)
Here's an example of a review, of mine!
The Cruel Prince!
That's how, I write my review!, that was long wasn't it?

This is the format I follow for my reviews. It might help you out. :)
(I kept everything spoiler free and try to avoid all spoilers as I like giving a good idea about the book without spoiling anything)
I first always start with a quote from the book, even if it’s a book I didn’t like so much. This quote is mostly something that stuck with me, or I just liked in general.
Then I give my star rating , as I often give half stars so it is to clear things up.
After that I start with a few introduction lines, like;
What did I like/dislike most about the book? What stood out to me most? Why did I read it? Did I have any specific purpose? Did it serve my purpose? etc
I also mention if there are any trigger warnings.
Then I start with the plot
Here I talk about what the book was about, was here anything unique? What did I like about it the most? Any plot twists? Were they predictable? Any plot holes/inconveniences in the plot? Was the plot too convenient? How was the ending? Was it a good conclusion? Was there any foreshadowing? etc
Then I talk about the writing
How was the writing style? We’re there any cliche lines? If there were, I give examples with dialogue. How was the pacing?
Was the pacing consistent? etc
If it is a fantasy book (as I read a lot of fantasy) then I talk about the world building next.
How was the world built? Did we explore everything? Was it well developed? Was there something inconsistent in it? etc
I then talk about the characters.
I go over each of them individually, unless there is a specific reason(like spoilers) for me not too.
I talk about what I liked/disliked about the characters. Were they just black and white/snowflake characters? Was anything about them unique? Were they morally grey? was it well done? etc
I sometimes use quotes from the book to describe the characters as well.
After this, I mention any other aspect of the book I’d to cover, like romance or character dynamics.
If I’m reading an audiobook (as I read a lot of audiobooks) I give my thoughts on the narration.
I then write a few lines on why I rated the book the amount of stars I gave it.
After that, I write my overall thoughts in the book/would I recommend it and to whom I’d recommend it.
Then if it’s a series, I link my reviews and ratings for other books in the series.
I also add some gifs in between to make it fun!
Then I end my review with another quote.
I then put this disclaimer-
All opinions on books I’ve read and reviewed are my own, and are with no intention to offend anyone. If you feel offended by my reviews, let me know how I can fix it.
And I mention my rating system
How I Rate-
1 star- Hardly liked anything/ was disappointed
2 star- Had potential but did not deliver/ was disappointed
3 stars- Was ok but could have been better/ was average / Enjoyed a lot but something was missing
4 stars- Loved a lot but something was missing
5 stars- Loved it/ new favourite
Here is a link to some of my reviews if you’d like to see how I execute this-

Either is fine, though I guess every review would be better. That’s only if you use it exactly, no need if you change things up. :)
