Why Secret Projects is #1

Secret Projects (Brandon Sanderson) scores 8.5/10 from 5.6K ratings — level with Ankh-Morpork City Watch series 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 →
