I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series, but this one left a sour taste in my mouth. While I don’t think you have to avoid including or discussing problematic elements in your story, the racism, fatphobia, pedophilia/sexual violence, etc. was handled as if it was something to be expected, even by Claire. The author did not engage with the problematic themes in any meaningful or helpful way and it felt glorified/encouraged by the text.
