Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

In joining this review group you have agreed to review the books assigned to you on a two month schedule. This group is now in the review phase and is no longer open for sign up.

This is Fantasy Review Group 16. 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. The review should be posted to Amazon (US and UK) as well, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.

Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work or, if the reviewer prefers to give the author a sale, purchase it.

Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews. Authors may respond to reviews, but any form of harassment or anger directed at reviewers will be treated as a violation of the terms of service for this group.

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.

Note that any participant who makes no effort to fulfill his or her commitment to this group will have all reviews of his or her work resulting from this group deleted and his or her membership in the Genre Specific Review Group will be terminated.

I will not be able to review The Rising from Ryan because my sister has already reviewed it and we share an amazon account for reviews.

Bort's People if there's a space? Bort's People

I've reviewed Tristen, but for The Darkness that slept?

And I've reviewed Ryan's The Rising.

I'd like to add The Alistar's Hearts. Alistair has already read it, I've read The Rising, and Tristen's family so Amazon will throw a fit.

Hi, I have both my books: The Life Syphon & My Shorts from Amazon UK on the Kindle. Looking forward to some enjoyable reading.
Alistair.

I have my first book "The Rising" and have been asked to wait for #2, so I'm good until the second round.

I have received both of my review books. :)

Received both of my review copies and sent copies of my book to both reviewers.

Received both books and both reviewers have copies of my book.

Received both and sent both as well

I've sent both my books and received Alistair Potter's. Need a copy from Danielle.

All right, I sent out copies of The Alistar's hearts and received my books.

I have received Danielle's book, so I'm square with everything now.

I've received Danielle's book, too. All's well.

Thank you, Tristen

Here's my review of Ryan's book "The Rising":

Goodreads

Amazon

Amazon UK

Reviews for City of Locked Doors are below. I've given them different star ratings due the different affinity thresholds on the sites. (4 on Amazon means "I liked it", where on GR, it's means "I really liked it.") I also thought it better to err in the author's favor on Amazon.
