I'm new to Goodreads and have recently published my first book Thieves of Greatness

I'd also love to know how I can improve reviews, any suggestions?

Unfortunately reviews will probably only come with time and sales. There are miles of threads here on goodreads about getting reviews, but I'm afraid they all say the same thing, that reviews are hard to come by.
Reviews can also be a double edged knife, as you might get an unfavourable review, which may do a lot of harm.
I have five books out there, and a total of two reviews. This all since 2011, which goes to show how hard it is to get reviews.
But ask yourself this, have you bought an indie book and then left a favourible review afterwards? If you haven't it might be something to try, because it will at least give you an insight into the mind of someone who has just read an indie book. (Even if that mind is your own).
Good luck with your books!
