Here are the two biggest reasons.
1. Not that many people review books.
2. People tend to pick up several free books at a time. Expected wait time on a free TBR, anywhere from 6 months to years.

So sorry you got caught in a trap.
Did you per chance get featured on ereaderiq?
I know he is legit but last time I looked the scammers were playing him like a Stratovarius.
Using my own Kindle habits, I figured about ten percent of those who downloaded my book would actually read it and about one percent of them would leave a review. That would equal seven reviews. Just an estimate I pulled out of my arse. I'm still hopeful that they'll show up sooner or later .

As far as I know, it wasn't featured on ereaderiq. Now you got me curious. How does one go about scamming a website that's only purpose is to tell people about free and discounted books?
