Even aside from Rowling being an insane monster, Jesus fuck I am sick of hearing about Harry Potter

Just a very annoying story to have achieved this kind of cultural dominance, in addition to everything else shitty about it

Or not, who cares

Point is, I'm tired of the little shit and I wish he'd been taken out by a nut allergy

Redwall should have been one hero for 7 books. Too many mc changes imo

The main problem with Redwall is that there are only two stories: Redwall Abby or Salamandastrom are under siege, or our heroes have to go look for something (or this is true for the fifteen books I've read.) It was entertaining, but it didn't have that much depth.

Ehhhh … Redwall when I was a kid always struck me as weirdly … racist-ey? I remember all the weasels, rats, etc. were bad by nature, as a group. I read a bunch of them, but eventually got uncomfortable with the pattern.

(Why couldn’t it have been The Dark is Rising, or Dianna Wynne Jones, or Diane Duane, though, and I’m on board.)

Wizard of Earthsea / le Guin

Isn't Redwall kinda heavily tied with Christianity?

The central location is an abbey but as far as I could tell, no actual religion happened there. Just a bunch of woodland animals wearing uniform robes and living communally.
