Woweeta commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
So I've been reading through the reviews written by people I follow (love being able to filter the feed on profiles!) because I'm nosy and looking for recs - and to help me learn to write better reviews.
It got me thinking about what type of reviews I like to read and are helpful to me, and I just know that everyone has different 'requirements' for what makes a review good for them. It's making it really fun to look through them, knowing that what doesn't quite work for me will work for someone else.
For example, I prefer an almost negative amount of 'spoilers' (this is probably just my disinterest in hearing/reading premise recaps - if I wanted to read the blurb I would have, and I generally don't), an overview of the vibe (including tone, setting/time, genre/sub-genre), and a couple of reasons why the book worked (or didn't work) for the reader.
What about you? What do you prefer to see, and write, in reviews?
Woweeta finished reading and wrote a review...
This story felt exactly like those old legends and tales we all grew to love when we were children, because they are magical and beautiful like songs... but hide some dark sides and lessons for the eyes and ears of adults. I don't know how to explain it! I really enjoyed it, Amal El-Mohtar has such incredible poetry.
I'd like to also bring attention to the powerful Acknowledgements section. I don't know if the audiobook also includes them, but I think everyone should read it, because it is incredibly important.
