![]() ![]() The word through which Germans interpret themselves, which more than any other expresses their pride (in their own being), is Kultur. There is a German obsession for distinguishing between “civilization” and “culture.” In German usage, Zivilisation means something that is indeed useful, but nevertheless only something of value of the second rank, comprising only the outer appearance of human beings, the surface of human existence. Peter Watson cautions the reader to understand there is a huge difference between culture and civilization (to Germans): Politics and the affairs of the state represented the area of their humiliation and lack of freedom, while culture represented the sphere of their freedom and their pride. ![]() This remarkable transformation is the subject of The German Genius. Germany went from being a poor relation among Western countries, intellectually speaking, to the dominant force – more influential in the realm of ideas than France or Britain or Italy or the Netherlands, more so even than the United States. ![]() Peter Watson maintains that Hitler and the Holocaust are preoccupying the world to such an extent that we are denying ourselves important aspects elsewhere in German history. ![]()

I hate how often thrillers further the stigma/idea that people like this who may be shy or suffer from mental illness (no, Scarlett isn't diagnosed with anxiety within the story but the effect is the same) can easily become unhinged and snap. The first is that she is portrayed as being an awkward outsider who suffered from social anxiety. I had two specific issues with Scarlett and how she was written. Yes, there are terrible men out there who do terrible things, but having all the male characters be evil just came across as a far too exaggerated attempt to get her point across. The only male character who was nice throughout was one of Scarlett's coworkers and he's not very present in the story. It wasn't a well written one because there was no indication that Wes was anything other than kind and respectful and it came across as a complete 180. Fargo even takes a seemingly nice guy (Wes) and turns him bad at the last second as a shocking plot twist. Literally EVERY SINGLE male character sexually assaults women and is generally disgusting in their behavior towards women. It's almost like Fargo wanted to give the idea that all men are monsters who will sexually assault you. I can only hope that my male characters aren't quite as bad as Fargo's. ![]() My dad accuses me of writing poor male characters and I will not deny that I struggle to write the opposite sex. ![]() There are no redeemable male characters in this novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the Exodans take great pride in their original community and traditions, their culture has been influenced by others beyond their bulkheads. ![]() Today, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, the birthplace of many, yet a place few outsiders have ever visited.

Unfortunately, despite the above, the execution of the story brought everything down. This is already enough to win interest so add in a non-binary prince who the protagonist has a good brotherly relationship with and a tough female character? That’s a complete win!

I’ve put off reading A Darker Shade of Magic (henceforth ADSoM) for 8 years in fear that the huge hype around it back then would’ve raised my expectations too much, and I’m so glad I did because this?
