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

The Magician’s Nephew is practically the poster child for the non-woke book. It exudes traditional values, presents classic good-versus-evil storytelling, and avoids every modern ideological pitfall. If only more books today followed this model!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Magician’s Nephew keeps identity politics and forced diversity far from its magical adventure. Characters are developed based on their role in the story and personal growth, not checked boxes or identity labels. There’s no shoehorning of modern social justice themes here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are not only present, they’re central. The book is openly sympathetic to themes of faith, family, morality, and the power of good over evil. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in a classic, respectful manner, with no subversion just to appear modern.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The worldview is unapologetically rooted in Western, Christian morality, but the book doesn’t go out of its way to villainize dissenters so much as cast classic good vs. evil. Alternative perspectives simply aren’t the focus, but they aren’t mocked for shock value, either.
