Good idea? or pushy marketing?
Here's another question for you folks. I've got an idea for getting more reviews--but it's a bit risky.
Here's the idea: I should direct message the people who gave Silver Princess (Book 1) a score of 3 or above and offer them a free copy of Silver Majesty (Book 2) in exchange for an honest review.
Or is that a breach of author-reviewer etiquette? I'm not trying to spam anyone...

I think since you are offering them a copy of the book, it isn't spam or annoying. If someone loves reading enough to be on good reads or write a review, they'll be thrilled with the offer of a free book. Personally, since I got book 1 and 4 from you free though, I feel like I ought to buy at least 1 myself!

There might be some who are just too busy to accept, but that's the only reason I can think of for turning it down.
