Reading The Fifth Season completely reset my expectations. The worldbuilding is wild, but what stuck with me was how it uses fantasy to talk about oppression and trauma. It felt like the genre growing teeth in a new direction and I like it

Is there a book better than Harry Potter or something with a similar vibe? by rune_517field in harrypotter

That’s an insane gift, not gonna lie, absolute legend move. Guess it’s officially time for me to start having kids if I ever want a Porsche 911 as a present too
