![]() ![]() Elspeth once said “they’re all the same white woman five times” and I have never heard a more accurate description. ![]() ![]() And yet most of them have one thing in common: they’re white. There are so many characters in this series, I had to resort to using Fandom Wikia while reading Kingdom of Ash because I didn’t even remember 30% of them. As mentioned above, lots of spoilers below! The Issues with Racial Representation Kingdom of Ash is the perfect example of why I can’t enjoy SJM’s writing as I once did, so I’m going to do a book rant and get it all out of my system once and for all. However, I started becoming disillusioned with SJM’s writing with A Court of Wings and Ruin (yes, it took me that long), and haven’t bothered reviewing any of her books since. I enjoyed Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, and Queen of Shadows, and have made countless blogging friends through this series, and because of that, reading these books will never seem a waste. Throne of Glass itself didn’t impress me, but I followed on because if there’s one thing I can be trusted to do, it’s to follow the hype train. I read the prequel novellas before the first book was released, and was intrigued by the world and its characters. If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you would know that I’ve had my ups and downs with the Throne of Glass series. Note: This post will contain spoilers for the entire series, including the ending of Kingdom of Ash! Turn back if you don’t want to be spoiled. ![]()
