There are already plenty of writing sites around that provide critique circles. Having a separate board for this kind of request would depend on whether the main aim of this site is for reading or for writing, and it's always felt to me that TPTB would like to keep the focus on reading. You only have to look at a lot of the listings on the Author Self-Promotions board to see that a lot of those come here solely to promote their book.
Having said that, I don't object to regular forum contributors asking for readers. I would suggest that you provide a bit more detail about the book. What kind of SF/F is it? Similar to / in the style of / suit readers who like ...? What are you looking for in a review? Technical proofreading (spelling and grammar), writing elements (plot, character development, worldbuilding), something else?
I may be interested but if possible would prefer to read a sample (maybe first few chapters?) to see if it's something I could commit to. 108K words is a hefty tome! I started a book review blog a couple of years ago but in the end couldn't keep up the time commitment, however I'd be happy to be an occasional beta reader as time permits.
I read fairly widely across SF/F, although I go through phases in subgenres. Lately I've been reading a lot of urban fantasy and space opera, though I have a couple of epic fantasy and hard SF on my TBR pile. Feel free to drop me a PM if you like.
