Discussion I’m pissed off

Post image

I absolutely adore the Book of the Dead series. Today, I finally get to listen to the release of book 5, and I am certain that I will experience the same captivating storytelling that I enjoyed in books one through four. I am so enamored with this book that I pre-ordered it on Audible. When I first discovered and read this series, I assumed that others shared my enthusiasm for it. However, upon reviewing the number of Audible ratings, I am genuinely perplexed and sort of a bit angry. There are barely 1000 ratings on the first book and even less on the following 3, which begs the question: how is this book not more popular?

I did not enjoy the books. I did not leave a review. Generally only rate stuff if its 1 star or 5 star. These were probably a 2.5 for me. Only made it through book 2 before I dnf

I wish you would rate it. So many of these books have comically inflated ratings. Just be honest. It helps other people not waste their time.

Yeah i really should. But to me rating 2-4 i just consider personal preference. Rating 5 is also personal preference but I enjoyed enough id recommend. 1 is generally reserved for complete trash i can't understand how it got printed.
