What We Think

A Memory of Light stands as a refreshingly non-woke entry in modern fantasy, focused on story, traditional values, and a diversity of perspectives. It resists trendy ideological trappings and instead delivers an epic true to its roots.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The focus remains squarely on plot, character development, and epic stakes, with identity factors generally tied to world-building rather than political messaging. Representation feels organic to the setting, with no obvious shoehorning or prioritizing of ideology over story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

A Memory of Light respects themes like sacrifice, duty, and traditional heroism. Masculinity, femininity, and family bonds are handled with seriousness and nuance. There’s little in the way of subversion or preachiness. While some traditional gender roles are evolved, it’s done in a believable way fitting the narrative world.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The story offers a range of perspectives and moral positions, with no clear ideological monoculture. Debates and differing worldviews abound among characters, and tradition and skepticism are not mocked. Dissenting voices are portrayed with sincerity, not caricature.
