What a standing team means

Most ARC teams exist for one book and then disband. A standing team runs across a whole series, so joining Ingrid J. Adams’s ARC team once puts you on the list for everything that follows. You still get asked before each book goes out, and you can sit one out whenever a release lands in a bad month. Nobody is keeping score.

Reading The Descended Series early

If you want to read The Descended Series early, an ARC copy is the way it happens: a free advance copy through BookFunnel, a few weeks ahead of release, in exchange for nothing more than your honest opinion once you’ve read it. Reviews are voluntary and they are yours. A two-star review from someone who genuinely didn’t get on with the book is worth more to everyone than a five-star one written out of politeness.

New to this? The reader guide covers how teams work end to end, and the review guide covers what to write when you’ve finished. Neither takes long.
