Confused

[Ashleigh]

Why do people write reviews for books that aren't even released yet?
I finished iron flame and went to add the next book to my TBR list and saw there are hundreds of reviews, and it doesn't release until NEXT year.
I'm confused as to why. Then, I feel the actual review won't be authentic.

i think a lot of times these ppl are arc readers. otherwise, idk. that's the only times that make sense to me. but if you aren't an arc reader, i dont get it

[sashenka 🖤 (hard book slump)]

I think it's to get an ARC too. Some authors don't want honest reviews, they just want good reviews

yeah i Dont get it, cuz like that many people cant be ARC readers

I think some people rate it 5 stars knowing they're going to read it and like it. Other people will, for whatever reason (and this gets on my nerves) rate a book they haven't read 1 star just because they don't like the other books. Then there are the people who rate it 2-4 stars even though it hasn't released yet, and that I can't even try to explain. So yeah I hope this helps!
