Taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Goodreads adding quarter-star options does NOTHING to fix an inherently broken rating system, as it still relies on people’s reference points holding stable over time. Someday I hope to give a Ted Talk on why a head-to-head comparison / ELO-style ratings system is far superior.
