@sparklebruiser I KNOW RIGHT, I tried to fix it but didn't see a good way to do so. Maybe it's something @mouse@bookwyrm.social knows how to fix?

nasamuffin, book enjoyer commented on Searching for dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (The Enchanted Forest chronicles ;)
This one went by super fast, typical middle grade book. Very fun, although I'm not exactly sure why we didn't get to see any sign of Cimorene falling, only the other way around. I guess she didn't turn him down and was willing to adventure with him, which was sign enough, but it still felt like the bar was rather low here.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their action to violence, their actors to dolls, and their truth-telling to sentimental platitude. Heroes brandish their swords, lasers, wands, as mechanically as combine harvesters, reaping profits. Profoundly disturbing moral choices are sanitized, made cute, made safe. The passionately conceived ideas of the great storytellers are copied, stereotyped, reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken, junked, replaceable, interchangeable.
