    Book Review Rating System

    5 Stars: Loved it, new favourite, unforgettable, highly recommend, would change practically nothing about it

    4 Stars: Enjoyed it, would recommend, but there were a few plot/characterization/story elements that I disliked/wished were different

    3 Stars: Mostly enjoyable, interesting/engaging but not a standout, there were a lot of plot/characterization/story elements that I disliked/wished were different, or I struggled to get through it

    2 Stars: Disliked many/major elements of the plot/characterization/story but something about it kept me reading anyway
    ​
    1 Star: I read this but didn't enjoy it at all, it had unforgiveable issues in plot/characterization/story elements
    ​
    ​
    DNF: couldn't get through it because of plot/characterization/story elements OR it just wasn't for me, but I might try to read it again
