What We Think

While 'Good, the Bad and the Undead' modernizes genre conventions with a capable female lead and diverse cast, it avoids the more egregious pitfalls of heavy-handed 'wokeness.' Narrative remains character-focused, and the book doesn't aggressively push ideology over story. Non-woke readers may roll their eyes at moments, but it's hardly a woke parade.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book largely sticks to urban fantasy conventions, focusing on character-driven plots and supernatural intrigue. While the protagonist is a strong female, her characterization includes clear flaws, growth, and complexity. Representation is present, but rarely feels forced or at the expense of narrative cohesion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are certainly upended here, given the female-led cast, but not in a preachy or heavy-handed manner. The book doesn't openly mock or devalue institutions like family or religion, it's more focused on supernatural adventure than cultural commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The story has some progressive themes and a diverse cast, but alternative or traditional worldviews are not overtly villainized or written off. There's at least some nod to pluralism, with characters from various backgrounds and beliefs.
