Those review quotes are utterly useless as far as i’m concerned. 99% of the time I’ve never heard of the reviewer or just dgaf.

If there’s no synopsis or it’s not already part of a series I read, they lose a sale because there is nothing there to catch my interest.

I ran a fantasy review blog for 5 years, and it was never very big. But there are seven books out there THAT I KNOW OF that have a snippet of my review in their front pages (only one on the cover).

I lost my site's domain 4 years ago, a person couldn't find those reviews without using the wayback machine. So yeah, I am not real sure what value they have.
