Review Policy

SPARKLING LETTERS BOOK BLOG- REVIEW POLICY.jpg

* CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING ANY REVIEW REQUESTS *

I accept ARCs and finished copies from authors and publishers. I prefer physical copy but I understand international shipping could be time and cost consuming so I am willing to accept e-books as well. I have a strong preference for anything in the Young Adult and New Adult category. I might make occasional exceptions.

All reviews are my own opinions and my critique of the book has nothing to do with the authors or publishers. I’m not afraid to write a negative review but I promise I will always be respectful and only judge the work, not the person behind it. I will also cross post my reviews on goodreads and promote them on my social media such as twitter and instagram.

Genres I accept (in this exact order) :

Fantasy
Contemporary
Dystopian
Paranormal
Science fiction
Historical fiction

Genres I do not accept :

Poetry
Memoirs
Non fiction
Self help books

★☆☆☆☆ Completely dislike it, there’s almost nothing I like from this book. Plot holes, lack of character development, vague world building, rushed ending, mostly.

★★☆☆☆ Has potential, could be great, but too many issues for me. Mostly bad characterizations or lack of plot.

★★★☆☆ It’s okay. Great but nothing special. Likes = dislikes. Usually average characterizations or plotting but not generally bad.

★★★★☆ “SO GREAT! But…” there are some of the elements that I don’t like or the book doesn’t live up to my expectations.

★★★★★ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I have nothing bad to say OR I am willing to look past its flaws because it’s just that great.

I also use a lot of half-star ratings but that’s very occasional.
