    Can't wait for the ultimate reveal that Hitler was a wizard and he cast an evil spell on the poor, unsuspecting German people

    It turns out that you can try as hard as you can with all sorts of edgy bullshit, but a kid's book is still a kid's book, especially when you do the whole "yeah magic can block radio waves and turn off guns and mind control people, and wizards see ordinary humans as subhuman, but world events are still exactly the same"

        Yeah, the part where they have a class showing teenagers how to make date rape drugs doesn't really fly, does it

            I loved American Gods for doing it all in a one-off book. One of my friends still has that as a matter of fact...

          Dresden files is incredibly lib brained too, and I have no doubt that Jim staying away for twitter is the main reason I can still stomach the series. Also, I need to read the last two books but I'm procrastinating on it.
