jfml reviewed Marcy and the riddle of the sphinx by Joe Todd-Stanton (Brownstone's mythical collection -- Book 2)
I adore the art so much
3 stars
but the story is unfortunately another „White person goes exotic´ places, exploringmysterious´ cultures that are actually none of her business (hello orientalism, colonislism, plundering and stealing of cultural artefacts, displaying them in museums and refusing to giving them back etc)“.
I wanna have do a reversal of this someday where someone from a fantasy version (see orientalism above) of the Libraries of Timbuktu or something goes to explore the strange and mysterious myths of the „barbaric“ vikings and fights Thor and stuff ^__^ Imagine how angry the faschs are gonne be!
The art though … 💖
