Book club secret!!!!

I'm sorry you couldn't finish it in time for the discussion, I'm sure you could still have been welcome! Discussing why you dislike her is perfectly valid discussion! What about her didn't you like?

[(Anonymous)]

She was shit, boring, and poorly written. You'd have to be a medical definition moron to have enjoyed or recommended it.

[diet_poison]

That's really rude.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey hey hey. Can we not insult people for enjoying things? I've enjoyed some admittedly silly stories and ridiculous characters. But what you enjoy isn't an indicator of intelligence.

aww, that's a classic and so versatile. :)

:D !

Katsa is very much in the vein of the angsty badass teenager who can kill anything and thinks she's a monster because of it. I personally think she's one of the better-written and more sympathetic examples of the trope, but I can understand being sick of it at this point.

[caerbannog]

She was very tropey that way! Personally I love that trope, especially when applied to a lady but yeah if it's not someone's cup of tea it would be a big slog cause lots of angsty angst :/

Still wish secret maker had shared it with the discussion though, it could have been interesting to discuss what they like and why, then why some of us liked it. Perhaps they'd like the other books, idk. They're much better written than Katsa's imo. Less angsty too.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I found her irritating, self-righteous, self-pitying, and rude.

I also resented comments on goodreads and the like discussing the book as some great feminist fantasy when Katsa hardly even interacts with any other female characters and devotes an awful lot of time to mentally tearing down the female characters she does know aside from Bitterblue.

That said, I agree with her comment downthread, I might enjoy either of the other two novels more. I thought there was some genuine promise in the worldbuilding, I just hated the focal character here.

*Your comment.

Your comment downthread that I'd probably like the other books.
