If you’ve finished the novel and found something in it worth sharing—whether praise, critique, reflection, or a simple rating—I invite you to post a review on any of the following platforms. Many readers rely on these spaces to discover new books. Your words, short or long, help immensely. Feel free to copy your review across multiple sites.

General Book Platforms

Goodreads
One of the most widely used book review platforms. You can rate the book, leave a written review, and see what others have said.
https://www.goodreads.com

The StoryGraph
A newer alternative to Goodreads with a strong emphasis on emotional tone, pacing, and content tags.
https://app.thestorygraph.com

LibraryThing
Geared toward more serious cataloguers and readers, with rich metadata and tagging features.
https://www.librarything.com

Booksellers

Amazon
If you have an Amazon account, you can leave a review even if you didn’t purchase the book there. Star ratings and brief comments both help.
https://www.amazon.com
(Note: If you’re outside the US, you can post on your national Amazon site.)

Barnes & Noble
A familiar U.S. bookseller with an active review section.
https://www.barnesandnoble.com

Books-A-Million
Another regional U.S. option for readers who prefer to support chain stores.
https://www.booksamillion.com

Reader Review Communities

Reedsy Discovery
Geared toward early and independent releases. If the book is listed, you can leave a rating or endorsement there.
https://reedsy.com/discovery

BookishFirst
Primarily U.S.-based, this site hosts short-form early impressions and reactions.

Niche and Genre-Appropriate Spaces

These are spaces where reviews may be less formal but still reach interested readers, particularly those seeking mythic or speculative narratives with philosophical depth. Forums are less commonly used by casual readers today, but still visited by genre enthusiasts.

SFFWorld
A long-running speculative fiction community. While active discussion is lighter now, archived and posted reviews still find a readership.
https://www.sffworld.com

Fantasy-Faction
Community-centered site for fantasy readers and writers. It occasionally publishes user reviews.
https://fantasy-faction.com

Mythic Scribes
Focuses on myth-based worldbuilding and speculative storytelling. More writer-facing, but readers with an interest in the mythopoeic often pass through.
https://mythicscribes.com

Discovery and List-Based Platforms

Shepherd.com
While not a review site per se, it curates thematic book lists. You can explore similar books, and I will be contributing my own list there in due course.
https://shepherd.com

Additional Avenues

For those who enjoy sharing reflections or short thoughts, book-related features on Instagram and TikTok exist, though I don’t participate actively there myself. Still, your voice may find an audience using thematic tags such as:

• #MythopoeicFantasy
• #PhilosophicalFantasy
• #EpicFantasy
• #FantasyWithDepth
• #SpeculativeFiction

Suggested Review Tags and Categories

If a site allows you to tag or describe the genre or tone of the book, the following may be appropriate:

Mythopoeic Fantasy
Epic Fantasy
Philosophical Fantasy
Speculative Fiction
Visionary Fiction
Mythic Fiction
Literary Fantasy
Metaphysical Fiction
