So. I read A Murder of Crows and I liked it a lot. As I did the first book in the Others series. I mean I really like the plot and the characters and the dialogue. And, for a second book — it was pretty good and not quite as let’s set up for the third book as second books can be.
So all good, right?
Except… I struggle with how blood prophets aka the teenage girl cutters, are portrayed in this series. There’s some glorification of cutting by teenage girls that bothers me. So while I’m enjoying the book, I’m also feeling creeped out and troubled by it at the same time.
I want to read the third book but at the same time, I don’t because it’s … wrong.
(And if you’re a cutter or have a history of self-harm, don’t read this series.)
