@RustyCrab she got bronied
@sun @RustyCrab it's so funny how rightoids (correctly) called Harry Potter poorly written shit for children and making fun of it's adult fans for over a decade and then Rowling became a chud and now they all jack off to it
@vriska @RustyCrab I am not an HP fan but it is actually noticeably better children's fiction than anything else I've seen, she put a lot of work into worldbuilding and creative ideas and continuity.

well written children's lit is like katherine rundell. creative children's lit is like garth nix. hally port is neither

@ageha @RustyCrab @vriska it is very conventional thesis for a childrens book, wow I am just like the kid that is mistreated but is actually special but it's elevated to a very good version of that genre.

here read a lot kids' stuff when small of course, lots also while library working to keep up on recommendations for child patrons, and then dipped in now then since
it's plodding and derivative, easily lost in the fog when read among peers. a contemporary competitor, doing basically the same thing but much better, is jonathan stroud's bartimaeus books
