is it just me or is the marketing on this kinda... not great?

like, there is no info about the story except that it's a dystopia. goodreads or amazon ratings tell me nothing. yeah, I could click the link in hopes to find out more, but there isn't even an incentive for me to want to find out more.

this was posted on October 28th and has only 4 notes, so... yeah idk.

and while the review thing is valid, I feel it's kind of... out of place or random? the post hasn't made me want to even look up info, let alone even consider buying it, so reviews aren't even on the edges of my mind.

edit: posting like this bc even though I'd like to give the author constructive feedback I don't know if they even want it and can't put my thoughts into words properly rn. don't want to come across as mean or passive-aggressive.

#cylas speaks #with 'time to orbit: unknown' i knew nothing except that it was about a 'Perfectly Normal Spaceship' (heavily implied that it's not) and #that reading it took over people's lives #and that was/is free #sails of black and blood had a cool cover and mention of lesbian vampire pirates #more other stuff as well but that is what hooked me #another book i actually got in a book store i almost put down but then i read that it had queer characters on the front (it was mentioned i #like one line. idk what exactly. queer urban fantasy or smth.)#this cover or title do nothing for me #well the title made me think of pink eye just now even though that doesn't affect the iris avsvsv #not saying that title and/or cover alone can't be enough but there should be at least some more info in case it isn't yknow #also. a dystopian story can mean anything. dystopia is such a vague term. so much can count as dystopian.#like I'm pretty sure The Road is dystopian but so is The Handmaid's Tale or The Hunger Games. right. and zombie apocalypse stuff.
