In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Abhorsen lands squarely in the non-woke fantasy camp. Its emphasis is on adventure, magic, and genuine character development, not trendy identity politics. Fans of classic fantasy can enjoy this one without wading through heavy-handed messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Abhorsen focuses on world-building, magic, and character-driven storytelling rather than explicit ideological posturing. While female leads are prominent, their roles feel earned and organic within the narrative's logic rather than shoehorned for representation's sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional families and religious themes are largely absent, replaced by a magical system and hierarchical structures native to the fantasy world. However, the book doesn’t actively undermine real-world traditions; it simply operates within its own mythos.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Abhorsen presents a fairly pluralistic fantasy society with moral complexity and a variety of perspectives. There’s little sign of mocking, caricaturing, or erasing traditional or non-modern worldviews. The focus remains on good versus evil within the fantastical setting.
