Might have to take the Sanderson pill after all... makima-think

for a mormon writer the o.g. trilogy has critiques of patriarchy, is pretty aware of women's issues, is brutally honest about poverty and the disparity between rich and poor.

also one gets the strong feeling that the heroine in the story is a write in for his wife and is very wife-pilled and based. we love a stan who idolizes his wife in this house

a criticism i would have is it is slow at times, especially in book 2 and 3 but sanderson has a knack for big pay-offs for his setups so if you have the attention span you'll enjoy it

As a big fiancé pilled person, I support wife-pilled people. I'll have to take a look! Maybe after I read The Expanse.
