5 Stars: I loved it AND it was well written, I would recommend the book and will look into more of the author’s work. A lot of re-read value.
4 Stars: I enjoyed it, fairly well written with only a few flaws to smack it down from 5 stars. I would still recommend the book, but it’s a 50/50 shot if I’ll re-read or look more into the author.
3 Stars: It’s not bad, but it’s not good. Several things put me off or there was one big glaring issue. 50/50 shot if I recommend it and I won’t look more into the author without a lot of persuading. Will only reread if part of a better series.
2 Stars: It’s not the worst thing in the world, but I wouldn’t recommend it or would discourage people from reading it.
1 Star: Either a DNF or a book I hated with a passion. Typically means I finished the book angry, but for the wrong reasons. Typically if I feel like my time has been wasted I’ll rate a book 1 star.
