How I use stars.
5: I have re-read the book, which is the best recommendation for me. 4: I enjoyed this book and might re-read it at some future date, but I haven't so far. Life is short and there are many books to read. 3: I enjoyed the book but I don't feel the need to re-read it. 2: Not for me, but you may like it. 1: I couldn't get into, finish, or didn't enjoy, which sometimes is a sad thing, other times not so much.
Interesting events but full of missed opportunities to make a good story truly great. I generally enjoy the series but if the author had it to do over again, she could have smoothed out the pacing and really explored the potential of the worlds she created.
