Fair! I'm gonna try the books but we shall see, and yeah, I'm very nervous about the gender essentialist magic, but I'm hopeful that the show will dissect and evolve that.

2021-11-30 01:12:30 +0000 UTCI've read the books. Including the Sanderson volumes. Because i started in my teens and wanted to see it to the end. But I've come to hate the gender-essentialist magic system. And I sincerely hope they'll cut out Halima at least. That was one of the most transphobic characters in a book I've ever read. But she only appears in the middle of the series in any case; if they do leave Halima in, I hereby prophesy there will be shocked Discourse™️ yet again. In any case personally speaking I won't give a series that disappointed in book form a chance to do so again on the screen.
