As a poli sci nerd, poorly thought out politics in fantasy annoys me so much

Sierra (Leclerc’s Version) :
THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one that noticed they flat out said the king was NOT a good ruler, that the rebels had a great point… only for them to stand by him and do nothing?

Dare I say this is giving Arcane. Like. How do you have the ability and knowledge to perfectly set up these narratives and tropes and then completely miss the point entirely

Serpent & dove literally made me throw away the book with how bad and borderline offensive its politics were

Harry potters politics are so bad because nothing in essentially changes, the structure that made the rise of not one, but two dark lords are still there and the disparity of treatment towards magical beings that aren't witches and wizards is still held

Every Allison saft book ends like “and I guess we’ll never know what happened with the politics next…” like she didn’t write it 😭

Something nitpicky I also wanna add: one of the characters last name was Van Der Kaas which means ‘from the cheese’ in dutch and its such a hilarious made up and inaccurate Dutch name

the politics in this book were so baffling. I was just waiting for them to band together to overthrow the king, but instead it just ended with "well, as long as WE are happy, I guess?".

I can't remember the title rn, but I read a sapphic YA novel about necromancy that seemed to have a CLEAR setup for monarchy = bad, but it pivoted at the last second, made a random character a shoehorned sole villain, and made all the royalty good people. wtf.

It just felt like she set up these complex political themes and then didn’t know how to wrap it all up in a standalone so just said forget about all that look our couple are together and happy!

As soon as I heard pro-imperialist sapphic fantasy my mind immediately jumped to 'main character is from underclass in oppressive society and girlbosses her way into existing power structures without dismantling them but maybe some vague promise they'll be nicer' and apparently we didn't even get that?!

4th wing. let’s enlist our enemies kids and arm them with our greatest weapon since we’re sooo desperate for soldiers and yet we made a system of enlistment so dangerous like 70% of our nations perfectly able bodied soldiers DIE?? unnecessarily???
