You can still enjoy things even if you know they're problematic.

As for how it is gross, I'm not OP, but I think it might have to do with (spoilers below)

... the world's attitude towards women, trans* people, disabled people. Although I've always felt that these attitudes were portrayed as ridiculous. It is the point of the plot, after all.
Also, worse than that, the sexual assault scenes. (It's not Rape As Drama though, so there's that.)
Mind, I haven't read the second book yet; I've only heard that it's supposed to be very violent.

I haven't read the sequel yet either, so I was hoping someone would have commented on how that specific book is gross/wrong.


I too felt that the attitudes towards women/trans/disabled were portrayed as ridiculous and Eon was the first book where I truly groked why what seemed super obvious to me about the dragon would have seemed unfathomable to Eon due to cultural attitudes.

I found the whole "magically not disabled anymore" thing annoying, even though it commonly happens in fantasy novels with disabled characters. The sexual assault thing made me put down the book for a week because I was just so worried there were going to be more in the future and I couldn't deal with that.
