The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas
4.0
Important read on represantion of black people in fantasy, solid points were made. I especially liked the analysis of Rue in Hunger Games beign just a plot device for the protagonist's character development.
The only reason I don't consider this a 5 star read is because it's very academic, making it hard to take in the insights. I read mostly non-fic and usually don't even see it when people call a book too academic but this one is too much even for me.
