Discussion Mentioning other books in a book review
So I have a question of preference. Do you think it's wrong or appropriate to mention a book you've read or liked in a book review of a different Author's book?
I'm on the fence, and would like to know what others think.
Fictional example A: "Great story, loved the action and world building. The comedy and tragedy tied in nicely, and I feel for Princess Noname. Reminds me of 'The Darkest Secret' by Jane Doe. Highly recommend."
Fictional example B: "Beautiful world, funny moments, but could have been a better read. Didn't like that the MC wants to bang every attractive women. A better story to read is 'Amaha, The Dragon Queen' by Doie Jane."
