My rating system is a mishmash of Goodreads and others.
5 star - The writing was compelling, the world building was outstanding and the story flowed. Couldn't put it down. Evoked an emotional response and made me feel my feelings. Unique. As a series opener, would make me want to read the whole series. As a new to me author, would make me want to read more of their stories. Would reread again in the future.
4 star - The writing, world building, and characters were excellent. Enjoyed the story. Would read this series or author again. Willing to give it a second read.
3 star - It was good, but...
2 star - I read the whole thing but had morally grey characters without any redeeming qualities, or something about the story turned me off, or it failed to live up to my expectations.
1 star - Did not finished. It wasn't my cup of tea and didn't care to continue the story.
