@L_Laura Thought-provoking is used to describe something that makes you think in depth about a certain thing or subject.
I never really heard "Thought-evoking" used, but it does make sense.
Here's a few synonyms you can use instead of "thought-provoking":
challenging, refreshing, brainstorming, food-for-thought, rewarding, invigorating, Empowering, vibrant, reflective, engaging.
