Book Reviews by the Chocolate Lady: #LetsDiscuss2020 #19 – Reviewing Sequels Out of Order

https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/10/07/letsdiscuss2020-19-reviewing-sequels-out-of-order-lets-talk-bookish-2/

This article was inspired by the Let's Talk Bookish topic hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books and Dani @ Literary Lion, for the week October 2-9, which is:

SHOULD YOU REVIEW A SEQUEL WITHOUT READING THE FIRST BOOK?

"When selecting ARCs do you ever choose sequels where you haven’t read the first book in a series? Do you think it’s fair to review a sequel without the context of the first entry in a series? Do you take someone’s review seriously if they mention they haven’t read the preceding books? Should reviewers even be allowed to do this?"
