A review by bookishgoblin
The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas

5.0

This was a brilliant non fiction read, even as a mixed race reader myself it was brilliant to get a chance to reflect on some of my favourite and least favourite black characters and why I loved them and why I didn’t. The chapter on Gwen in BBCs Merlin especially gave words to a lot of voiceless feelings I’ve been having since the show aired. It also helped me assess my own writing. This book should be a must read for any speculative fiction writer
