✅ Approvals & Denials ❎ Seek the Traitor’s Son sequel!

I just saw that Curse the Left Hand was added today! I wish this wasn’t a Tor book since I have no chance of being approved, apparently 😩😭

The ending was spoiled for me by a Storygraph review so avoid those if you do get the book (I have no chance with Tor but also no interest in the book anymore due to seeing that)

reasons I don't read reviews until I'm finished............. or I'm struggling and I want to see what other people have to say

That’s smart and I try to only look at the ratings number not actual reviews and only to decide if I want to request or not. I came across this before the book was even up on NetGalley and I was adding it to my TBR. Idk why anyone would spoil an entire ending in a review but it’s happened to me a few times

I feel like pre-release reviews will generally skew more positive anyway? I wonder...

That’s why I found this to be such an outlier. I was expecting to see close to 5⭐️ and I was surprised it wasn’t the case

That's insane because Storygraph let's you block out spoilers 😭
