A review by 1smarieokay
The King Must Die by Mary Renault
2.5
i’m too tired of heroes with megalomania saving people who are fine
and negligence and description of women in all these stories just makes me sick
knowing that this book was also written by a woman, i cannot fathom why the hell she decided to change important plot lines but kept the idea of men superiority, of women’s ”job” to be petite, beautiful, obedient and so on… the author awfully sexualised and objectified female characters, kept scenes of basically assault and coercion
for what?….
please, read “Ariadne” instead
if you see the same review under the second book, it just me again not willing to write sth new as i’ve already said everything i wanted in this text :)
