Why Skyward series is #1

Skyward series (Brandon Sanderson) scores 8.4/10 from 3.3K ratings — level with Malazan Book of the Fallen at one decimal, and ahead on the exact score.

The score is a weighted average across 3 independent rating sources. A title with few ratings is pulled toward the category average, so a handful of enthusiastic reviews cannot outrank a book that thousands of readers have judged. Method →
