The first 2-3 books maybe, but Joanne really tried to push for a more mature tone, with none of the writing skills to back it up. Slavery, creatures that devour your soul, date rape, torture to the point of insanity, political corruption, the rise of fascism, grief, child soldiers, analogies about aid-riddled homosexuals targeting children. None of these are topics for a children’s book, let alone one written by a bigoted idiot.
That’s because they’re books for children. Has everyone forgotten this?
I hate this attitude that it’s okay for something to suck if it’s made for children.

The average Harry Potter fan is still nostalgic for their lost childhood innocence I guess.
Everyone expects media, other than their favorite, to be perfect.
