Look. I love this series. Clearly I do, because this is the 7th book. This is also my favorite of the series.
SPOLIER SPOILER SPOILER
I. Am. Over. The. Will. They. Won't. They. Story. Line. Over it. Humans do not live like this. I mean, thank fuck strike FINALLY fucking said something at the very end, but now we've got to wait for a whole other book??? I honestly don't even want to read the next book because of this shit. Either piss or get off the pot because I AM DONE.
And the body shaming in this book. The constant pointing out of how chunky or how many rolls or how tight the clothes are? Just gtfo with that nonsense. That's not something any of these characters have done before this book.
The slight homophobic phrases of "his hair was long like a dandy"? Not in line with the characters.
The last book was clearly JKR/RG venting their spleen over internet trolls. Now we are venting our spleen over body image. If it was in line with the characters, fine, I guess but it's not. Just let me have my fucking detective series without that crap.
Thank you for allowing me the space to vent. These books are incredibly well written, they are some of my all time favorite books. But my God, let's move forward or move on.
