thank you. i try

I feel like you have to read Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, or the whole Book of the Ancestor trilogy. See if it'll change your opinion of Lawrence afterwards. I dont really think people should judge the author for the characters they create. A character's belief, opinion and action doesnt always reflect the author's own point of view. It should be okay to have to write a problematic character without the fear of it being perceived as a direct reflection of the author's own values.

Everytime i heard chopstick tap on the book I felt like I had to turn my head and pay attention throughout this vid 😂 I read Foxglove earlier this year and believe me the SLANG I had the audiobook the amount of times god came up I had to speed it up chipmunk to get thru it

I gave up reading Mark Lawrence's books since his 2020 scandal regarding V.E. Schwab (he convinced his fandom to cyberbully Schwab and other authors/readers who had criticized his books previously). That's an author I'll definitely not support

I hate when book covers are gorgeous but you can just tell it's not gunna be it. I am glad I avoided The Foxglove King. It just screamed "my beautiful cover is hiding my ya-trope-story".
