Let’s Discuss – How soon do you review?

Okay, so I’ve been noticing lately that my ratings vary somewhat based on how soon I review a book after I’ve read it. I usually review books relatively quickly once I’ve read them.

The negatives: Light on magic. For a fantasy novel, this one was actually pretty light on magic and fantastical elements. First daughters in this world were supposed to have “the gift,: which is basically an ability to […]
