How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsJust Keeps Getting Better
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018
Sometimes series seem to slow down, but not here. If anything, Message for the Dead picks up the pace. It’s the final book in the first series, but not the final in the story. It grabs all the pieces and weaves them together without leaving the feeling that anything has been overlooked. But it does it all with the sense of adventure and fun that are in the previous books. Personally, it’s my favorite in the series, and I highly recommend it – actually the whole series since I don’t really expect anyone who has read the previous books to even need to look at a review at this point. It will leave you wanting more.

1.0 out of 5 starsOne Ring to Rule them All
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020
One Ring to Find them
One Ring to Bring them All
And in the Darkness bind Them

Well as per GoT nearly everyone’s dead. It was really funny when Goth Sullus walked in to face the mechanical Eye of Sauron wielding his lightsaber (sorry, cutting torch) and finding the One Ring.
Again a lot of plot elements don’t seem to go anywhere. What happened to General Nero? Timelines seem a bit more coherent but still there seems some jumping around.
And the authors just seem to be pulling plot devices popular books and stories and just ramming them into theirs. The amount of ideas pulled from Starwars is obvious. But this book had Lord of the Rings written into it.
I really want to see if in the next book Prisma flys in on her broomstick to take out Sullus in a one on one wand fight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story but needs some editing in the middle
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2019

I've read this series from the beginning and have loved the story but somewhere at the end of Book 7 and the middle of Book 8 it's like the file got corrupted and it made me want to stop reading. Usually I take the time to highlight the errors but there were more than I wanted to invest time to report.

Still a good series and worth reading.

Things become more wrapped up in this addition to the galaxy's edge saga. Yet there are still new mysteries to unwrap before the conclusion on season one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story but horrible typos
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018

I've enjoyed all of the Galaxy's Edge books but this one one is so full of typos - especially in Part 2 - that I found it distracting. It was as if parts of the book had been dictated to a computer but never proofread by a human being before publication. Despite that - which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 - I am looking forward to book 9.

Well written and researched. Hard not to feel like you are with the team as you move from mission to impossible mission. Great mix of reality and fiction. Would like to write more but I would rather start reading the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different star wars.

I'll keep this simple. This series has never failed to impress me and creates lovable characters in dire circumstances. It paints a grimmer darker picture of war on galactic scale. If you aren't cheering for the good guys. You'll love the bad ones!

4.0 out of 5 stars Editor, calling all Editors! Get your edits here!

Amusing as always and filled with intrigue and action. However, wow, how about an editor or three? These books are still nicely done, readable and enjoyable, but this one, especially Part Two, feels like I am reading a separate copy of an original translated from Latin to English.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great installment in the series
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018

Love this series and this book is no exception. I docked it one star though because it looks like it hadn't even had a cursory proof read. I'm not a stickler for about this stuff, but the amount of spelling mistakes and jumbled sentence's was excessive.
