Full disclosure, this question was sparked because I was checking out the Goodreads listing for Onyx, the 3rd book in the Emperyan by Rebecca Yarros which is set to release next January.
The listing already has a bunch of 5star ratings and reviews and also 1 stars too. If you don’t like the author or the series, just steer clear of them, no? Why leave a 1 star with a rude comment?
So here’s my question to the community - how can you rate and review something you haven’t consumed?
I don't think that it's okay for people to effect an author's stats before the book is even out. Trolls can easily tank the author by writing bad reviews, and fans can over inflate the reviews. Either way, it shouldn't be possible on Goodreads to write reviews before the book published.
