Sydney asked Shannon Messenger:

Why don't you rate/review the books you read?

Shannon Messenger Because I don't feel like it's my place to do that. Technically speaking, rating / reviewing a book is the same as criticizing it (even when it's praise) and I'm not a critic. I'm an author. And other authors are my "peers." So for me, it doesn't feel right to offer any sort of rating or review for their books. I'll save that for readers.
