> I'm sorry that the gender and ethnicity of the author appears to be an issue for you.

Parent didn't say that it was an issue. He called it 'woke'.

Yes, and that was the only evidence supplied to why they were 'awful'. The post should have been ignored on that basis alone, but because it wasn't its easy to see why GP might have extrapolated their response.

I read all three and had enough hope at the beginning to push through. I really hated the second person, the stream of consciousness prose, the random all-caps, and the relentlessly bleak tone. I think NK Jimison may be a talented writer but the style drove me nuts and the story went nowhere.

Reading the replies is making me rethink my initial comment. There a lot of people rushing to defend the books, so maybe it's just not for me. Perhaps I overestimated the impact of the social context on the outcome.
