I wanted to engage with people in my hometown, lockdown can really get you stir crazy.

I do feel offended, it's the same shit you see in Hollywood. A hero's journey where not only is the hero insolent and brash and stupid, she never learns their lesson, and the story treats it as if they were right all along and those pesky adults and moderates were just stopping the progress.

She goes from hating to loving Harrowhark in 3 pages after a lifetime of suffering, and the author expects me to not notice because we gotta push the badly setup, stupidly convoluted disabled girl twist.

You look at reviews and it seems everyone's eating it up, and don't forget YASSS LESBIANS AUTOMATIC WIN even though it adds absolutely nothing of worth to the story, except maybe cement the main character's transformation into a the worst parts of a male hero but with a vagina.

And this is nothing to mention of the atrocious worldbuilding and the multiple failures of verisimilitude that could be easily fixed when you live in a world of future technology AND magic. But no, Gideon and other female cavaliers can beat male cavaliers while being half their weight and shorter in arm-length, and the two male ones being defeated were either laughably bad at it (Magnus) or immediately fell into a temper tantrum (8th house guy, I think), so much for diversity or whatever.

So yes, I am offended, that the author thinks people are this retarded, and that people actually are and are eating this shit up.
