..how i rate my books..
★: DNF’d and/or tasteless characters, the writing destroyed the book for me.
★★: Bad writing that made it hard to read or so boring I had to skim a lot. Plot has fallen off.
★★★: It was “just” good but (can be) forgettable. The end.
★★★★: Great writing and had a solid, intriguing plot. Made me lose time. I will remember this.
★★★★★: It was absolutely phenomenal. The writing was beautiful and the characters were brought to life. The characters live rent free in my head. Will stay with me forever.
