I Read What?!

So last time, Rune settled in with the Free Bards, got her wounds healed, her songs critiqued, and started to realize that she might just want to bang her new mentor. There are worse goals to have.

So in our first two chapters of Shapechangers, we had two genocide-apologist racists get captured by a very rapey racial stereotype. Let's see how these next chapters go.

Okay, so, full disclosure. This chapter has an instance of blackface. Specifically, a white character using makeup to pass for a black man (and one with mental disability, so ableism as well). There is context for this, but to be perfectly honest with you, I have no idea if the context mitigates the circumstances or not. Basically, I'm too white to make this call.

And honestly, I think Ms. Elrod is also too white to make this call. While I still enjoy the book, I can definitely say I wish she'd gone with something different.
