Honestly, Shadow and Bone was literally what many people disparage Twilight for being (but was actually not): A terribly-written romance drenched in creepy American purity culture with a much more interesting but underutilized fantasy world.

#twilight #shadow and bone #cristina’s hot takes #meyer the supposedly conservative mormon gave her atheistic heroine access to vampire dick for eternity #meanwhile bardugo has her heroine be robbed of her power and return to her mediocre childhood love interest #and called that a great fairy tale ending #oh and killed off her jewish-coded freedom fighter #anti anti twilight #at least twilight never pretended to be anything more than a romance #later on ofc it did flesh out its worldbuilding #but shadow and bone had a chosen one type heroine #turned out all that chosen one stuff was just obstacles to the romance #ahimè
