So, are the Cormoran Strike (fucking seriously? CORMORAN STRIKE? Looks like Rowling still has her penchant for on-the-nose, absolutely retarded names) books worth a shot? From what I've heard, they feature Mary-Higgins-Clark-tier writing and a kind of irritating protagonist but OK if you just want to waste away a couple of hours on a flight. If so, that's par for the course with Rowling given Harry Potter but sans the worldbuilding and initial creativity that made the frequently shit writing bearable. And in that case, I might as well opt for an actually good mystery novel.
Also, I will never stop laughing at all the people who suddenly started posting up essays on YouTube about how "problematic" Harry Potter is? Oh fucking really? You don't say. Where were you guys when the critics were screeching about the fucked up morals of slavery, predetermination, treatment of the disabled and death in the series? I think just about the only left-wing commentator who I ever saw shit on Harry Potter for that crap was Dan Hemmens of FerretBrain.
