Through a random act of luck, I won't be reading this.
A friend showed me a post discussing this racist book by this racist author.
How it is filled with black and brown characters, in power, who oppress the poor white characters/protagonist? My jaw is on the floor.
I'm sure other reviews, of the over a hundred one (1) stars, there is a better written and more concrete understanding of what happens in this festering pit, read through those if you need 'evidence'.
Don't give this author money, if you must hate-read it, 🏴‍☠️ it.
This is 'save the pearls' level of bullshit (google it).
But of course, where are my manners, this kind of media wouldn't be possible without the white queer readers ignoring (or supporting) this in favour of their sweet gay babies, bravo .
