and here’s what I’ll say on eliot’s book… it’s been hinted at multiple times that he’s the foundation of the empire. without him it collapses. imo, it makes more sense to see that destruction in the last books and fix the empire in his book, the last book
@cosimolottie yes trigger warnings should be included in any book that has potentially triggering content (which this book did btw. they had a whole page about it)
@ssloanetavish I’m not arguing that it wasn’t triggering. I’m arguing that this is the 20+ book in this series that deals, and has always, dealt with mature content. kbr mentioned multiple times that LL was like hothouse flower. it all felt very unnecessary
@ssloanetavish It was an arc. That is exactly what arcs for. To inform authors of something that might be needed. not to go on a witch hunt and try and destroy a book before it’s even released but sure
