Eurocentrism is a key feature of the world building. Uses ableist language uncritically throughout (e.g., the “c” word to refer to disability and the colloquial/derogatory use of the word “lame”)

Re-reading these books, and this one at least held up really well over the years. Just a fun and interesting story and premise. 

These books deserve the same kind of popularity as Potters and hopefully a couple of new eyes will find them through the TV adaptation
