Damn, I don't know how to do this from a side blog. ANYWAY, coming from a black person who just read the CP series like, last week, it's pretty good. The racism in the book is more xenophobia-'Get out of my country, and also yours so I can rule that too' than actual 'you're brown die,' racism. I was really skeeved out by the slavery before reading, but tbh, its slave in the old roman-esque sense and the brown main character ends up abolishing it. the books actually more centered on sword fights
and political intrigue than all of the bondage kink advertising implies. The 'animal' thing was shouted by someone who was hunting down the main duo, and in the book it wasn't played off as a thing, but it is p sketch coming out of the mouths of a kinda white fandom. All in all I liked the books, solid pining, solid characterization, solid plot, solid humor, delicately handled rough subjects. It's pretty worth the read. Not that you actually asked me, sorry. I just thought idk brown perspective
thanks for letting me know! i mean i might read it but im still side-eyeing the fandom and the way it wholeheartedly embraces describing a poc as an animal
