What you’re agreeing to

The copy: You read it on Booklabria, in the browser or the app. There is no file to download for this one.
The watermark: A hidden code lets the author trace a leaked file to this copy. It does not contain your name.
Your privacy: The author sees your username, your note, how well your picks match their book and your follow-through. Never your email address.
An honest review, any rating: The author asks for a review, never a good one, and cannot see your rating before it is public. Where you post it is listed above.
Say it was a free copy: In the US, the FTC’s endorsement guides ask you to say so, and many stores and review sites do too. Add a line like this to each review:I received a free early copy from Maren Holloway. This review is voluntary and my own honest opinion.
If you run late: Running late? Ask for more time in My early copies. A review posted after the date still counts as a review; only going quiet past the date counts as missed. Authors you request from always see your follow-through, and your profile shows it only if you choose, in Privacy. Setting a book down is follow-through, not a miss.

How early copies stay within the stores’ rules and the law

Early copy requests need a Booklabria account.

Taken in by the Sextons, Edda Mercer learns the trade she was born for and forbidden: how the world’s forgetting is written into a great ledger and made to hold, how a memory is minted into a grey coin, what it costs the hand that wields the spade. Every marvel is paid for in the self, and she is only beginning to learn her price.

In the deepest room of the archive she finds a record of the erased, and in it a drowned district that answers to a name no one ever gave her. The order teaches that the buried should stay buried. Edda has never once been able to leave a buried thing alone. The further she reads, the closer she comes to the one truth the Sextons purged her kind to keep down. She came to learn the craft. She is learning what it was built to keep from her.
