Yeah, my friend liked his first book but hated the second one because (spoilers) the main character had his staff go out and find him a perfect wife who fit all the criteria he personally specified, who when they found this woman she had no reason to love this dude but for some reason she just did. Because she's just there to be the perfect wife, who cares about making her act like a real person. And then she was fridged to motivate him. Now go to the reviews of the book and find a billion stans defending this writing because it's only misogynistic from a western perspective and you shrill wimmins who don't like it are all racist actually.

Yeah, the first part had its issues in terms of characterisations and absence of women, but there was this interesting and important female character that the story starts with (and whose decision is so pivotal), that I let it slide, but the second volume was so cringe worthy - especially the first section of it which unfortunately focused on this awful main character and really dragged everything down (the second part had some interesting elements, but you had to wade through some 200+ pages to get to them). (Although I did have a laught at the Bin Laden cameo, but that wasn't intentional on the author's part). Generally speaking, the author is very much a big picture guy, which makes him interesting for "what would humanity do" discussions (even if I don't agree with a lot of his takes), but also in some cases pretty bad at describing anything to do with individual humans' relations.
