What We Think

Faith of the Fallen is about as non-woke as big fantasy sagas get in the 21st century. It champions personal achievement, tradition, and open debate (even if the debate is a bit lopsided). If you’re sick of ideological uniformity in fantasy, this book might feel like a cold drink in the culture desert.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Faith of the Fallen is more renowned for its rigid individualism and philosophical debates than for checking off diversity boxes. Character development and plot are front and center, with identity factors taking a distant back seat, refreshingly rare these days.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, duty, and morality aren’t belittled here, they’re actually celebrated. Masculinity isn’t targeted for ridicule, and the book is famous (or infamous) for its almost brash defense of personal responsibility and classical virtues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The book presents a specific worldview (objectivist-leaning), but rather than squashing dissent, it actually gives space to critic characters and their collectivist views, albeit to demolish those arguments, not to glorify them. Still, there’s at least debate, not absolute lockstep.
