      @anival9576 4 роки тому +51

      Yeah, that's why I avoid re-writes. Done well, they have the potential to be amazing, I suppose, but so few writers are actually capable of doing it well, particularly the ones inclined to re-write classics. Also, I think the publishers' standards get lowered because they see a handy way to market it to all the "Austen" fans out there.

      Same, I believe people forget that Jane Austen isn't just romance. Hell, most of her books are just women dealing with how the patriarchy makes their lives harder and the love interest is just thrown there, although well written. Pride and Prejudice's WHOLE PLOT was because the Bennets would be kicked off Longbourn once their father passed away, and HALF of the drama of that book was that the only two men that could make good husbands for them, Darcy and Bingley, would never traditionally marry them - because they are poor, scandalous, unorthodox, etc. If you can't see the story past the romance, then what's the point even retelling it?

    I love how Unwound presents a "compromise" where you have to raise and finance a child to the age of 13, and then are given the choice whether or not to terminate them. Seems almost like a strawman of Pro-choice ideology if you ask me.

    • @engf223
      @engf223 4 роки тому +13

      The world building is greatly expanded in the later books in the series, and by the end it’s pretty clear that the “compromise” was something thought up by powerful government business lobbyists to allow them to have access to a lot of organs that were pretty much indefinitely viable due to advancements in organ transplant technology developed during the war. It didn’t actually have much to do with the war, and was very manipulatively advertised so that people would think it was this amazing compromise which solved all their problems and more.

    "Where was the dog?" I definitely would have been asking the same thing because I too am depressed and love dogs XD. I also second the "diversity doesn't mean the book is good." Sometimes I feel bad for not rating a book higher because I get that representation is important, but I also like being objective in my reviews. If the book isn't well written or have good characters, then it's not objectively a good book to me regardless of the message of the book or the representation in the book.

    I cannot convey to you Cindy how much respect I have for you for being able to review these books so in depth. This is most definitely due to the miserable fact that I am absolutely awful at focusing on reading and yet also zone out too much with audiobooks, so I skim read and miss over half the details and have to go back to clarify what happened. This is definitely the reason that I was so confused when you mentioned the Grisha trilogy. I am 1000% certain that I barely absorbed anything that happened except what interested me (e.g. pretty people and gorey fight scenes), so my brain automatically loved almost every single character I came across and saw almost no fault. I am starting to realize that maybe oversharing to strangers could be a toxic trait but who has time for studying and working on concerning behavior and working on self loathing?
