What We Think

Morrigan’s Cross is a fairly traditional fantasy adventure with little evidence of modern ‘woke’ narrative priorities. It focuses on prophecy, magic, and old-school heroism, so readers hoping to avoid heavy-handed ideology will likely feel right at home.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, narrative integrity is largely preserved in Morrigan’s Cross. Characters are chosen for the fantasy quest based on prophecy and magical relevance, rather than box-ticking identity factors. The focus stays on plot, magic, and world-building, with minimal emphasis on modern diversity themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book leans into traditional fantasy tropes, heroism, ancient prophecy, and mysticism, without obvious attempts to undermine family, faith, or masculinity. Gender roles are fairly conventional for the genre, especially given its 2006 publication date.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no wholesale villainization of classic or traditional worldviews; characters span a variety of backgrounds typical for the genre and are given genuine arcs. The story isn’t an ideological rallying cry for any contemporary cause.
