Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

In joining this review group you have agreed to review the novels assigned to you on a two month schedule. The sign up phase is over and the review stage is starting.

This is Fantasy Review Group 9, which will include all types of novels classified as fantasy. As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.

Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. If the Goodreads review is positive (three stars or higher), the review should be posted to Amazon at the same star level, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.

If a reviewer and the author agree that the review should not be posted to Goodreads due to quality issues, the reviewer is relieved of the requirement of posting the review. If this occurs in the first round, the second reviewer is relieved of the requirement to read and review the book. This is entirely at the discretion of the reviewer and is not intended in any way to manipulate the rating of any book.

Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work.

Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews.

If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.

If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.

1 Tim Stead - The Lawkeeper of Samara

Quick question: I messaged Kim for a copy of her book to review and haven't heard from her....I'll need to get it really soon in order to get the review done on time as I have a day job and other things going...could you tell me how to approach her? I don't have an email or anything...
Thanks,
Diamante

If you have message her through Goodreads, that is the only communications path we have at the moment. Try messaging her again. Her Goodreads page is here: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...

Kim, I can't contact you though Goodreads - the send a message function seems to be disabled on your author page. Please message me and I'll tell you where to send Demon Ink for review.

I'm sorry that I'm behind in my first review. Windows 10 crashed and I couldn't use my computer for two weeks. I thought I had lost all my files and books, but I bought a new Windows 10 and a new Word (which got lost). I found my files and I'll be back on track. I don't recommend Windows 10.

I finished Adam Ingle's book and submitted the review for Amazon and Goodreads. https://www.amazon.com/review/R3CFR7S...
I hope you like the review.

Sorry, I'm behind too. I'll have Rd 1 done soon.

Diamante,
Why did you post on Barnes & Noble? That wasn't part of the description.

I appreciate it when others post wherever they can as far as my books go. I thought you'd also appreciate the extra effort....I hope so! I emailed you as well regarding the fact that I publish my reviews on my blog and asked if you'd like me to publish an author interview there as well. Hope that's alright with you! I have a good number of reviews, spotlights and interviews there.

Thank you for the offer. I would love to be interviewed on your blog.

I'm super behind due to an injury and surgery, my apologies. I'm catching up as I can. Here are my review for Tim Stead's The Lawkeeper of Samara.
