Opinions published in my reviews are my own, shared with the intent to help fellow readers find great books. My ratings are based on my personal feelings about the storytelling, themes, quality, and execution of concept.

I occasionally accept review requests from authors or publishers via personal connections or NetGalley. Reviews for these books include a disclaimer at the bottom of the post for transparency, but in no way does this affect my opinion of the overall execution and quality of the book.
