What We Think

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star is mostly free from modern ‘woke’ tropes. It sticks closely to classical adventure, avoids forced messaging, and stays refreshingly non-political throughout.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book’s characters are largely defined by their personalities, actions, and growth, not modern identity politics. The story is primarily focused on fantasy adventure and solid character arcs, rather than message-driven insertions or box-ticking. Forced representation and tokenization are simply not present here by today's standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The story’s family dynamics, moral lessons, and sense of personal responsibility are quite traditional. Masculinity, femininity, and family are depicted in a balanced, non-mocking way, with no effort to subvert traditional structures or mock religion. Any revisionism is minimal, this is straight-up fantasy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't villainized. While the protagonists are clearly on the ‘good’ side, the book focuses more on adventure than ideology. There's no apparent effort to mock, exclude, or stereotype traditional values, nor are there heavy-handed morals from a modern ideological stance.
