I mean, I guess it’s good that he knows Jesus isn’t white, but if he’s trying to portray him accurately that’s like a cookie for clicking the second, reliable, result on Google instead of the first, unreliable, one. Also, I have an idea for how he survived: he was paranoid for …

What, were you expecting him to treat people with respect? Or non-fanatical Jews? Or women who aren’t sexualized? Sane heroes who are invested in the story? Read a different book… it’s not like this one is popular. (If only.) Well, no, I suppose I didn’t expect it to go well, but …

Also, minor question: when Jesus says Atticus doesn’t ask him for anything, is that even true? I mean, he doesn’t usually, though during that sequence in the next book, he definitely asks for help against the zealous rabbi demon hunters. Hearne’s depiction of Jesus is also abysmal, for the record, but we’ll …

Honestly Emilia would be a way better protagonist than Atticus, not least because she’s actually killable. Also, minor question: when Jesus says Atticus doesn’t ask him for anything, is that even true?

So, the only Jew in that scene, possibly the whole series (I don’t remember any explicitly Jewish characters who are portrayed positively, or even neutrally), who isn’t portrayed negatively is Jesus? And I’m not super familiar with Christian theology but my impression was that Jesus didn’t like drinking? Also, would …

The body of best sex dolls. The quest is a companion, a doll accompanies him and he accompanies a sex doll. Even with dolls, the feelings are mutual, so be careful.

Also, regarding the drunk rabbis: WHAT. Does it make any sense at all, or was Hearne just like “Yeah Jews aren’t gonna mind being portrayed as fanatics. It’s not like that skirts really close to antisemitic stereotypes often used to justify killing them!” again? Oh no, the rabbis aren’t drunk, they …

I kind of want Hearne to learn more about Judaism but I’m also afraid that it’ll get worse. Somehow. It’s not an easy feat. Also, regarding the drunk rabbis: WHAT. Does it make any sense at all, or was Hearne just like “Yeah Jews aren’t gonna mind being portrayed as fanatics. …

“More on him in the next chapter, don’t worry.” Judging by his past portrayal of the rabbi and Judaism, I’m worrying. …yeah, that’s fair. The least I can say is that it’s not as bad as the following book, where Atticus is cornered by a bunch of angry fanatical magic rabbi in …

Ok, the witches are Henry Ford and/or Tsar Nicholas the second. (Depends if the hate is racial or religious.) Neither of which knew much about Jews, as far as I know. Also, thank goodness the rabbi isn’t with the Fords/Tsars. “More on him in the next chapter, don’t worry.” Judging by his …

Concerning “Die Einberufung de verzehrenden Flammen.” The most glaring bit is that it should be “der” and de isn’t actually a word I know. Beyond that, I’d judge the spell name somewhat stiltes but intelligible. The most questionable word choice is ‘Einberufung’ which has the conotations of something like getting …

So just to be clear, the Nazis (depending on your source) have a vast knowledge of Judaism, including knowing God’s real name; know how to write the Hebrew for “truth” (emet); or possibly knowing elemental stuff, which shows up in Nathan Ausubel’s 1948 retelling of the golem of Prague in …

Someone could fact check and see if this actually makes much sense. Those streets do intersect in that way in downtown Tempe, although it seems excessive for “crossed the Rural Road Bridge” because that’s what it amounts to. As a way of showing he knows the area or giving it …

Parody would’ve worked better as an excuse. Deconstruction demands some quality. In parody the lack of quality is intentional, sometimes. Yes, but I think that some fans might actually try to use ‘parody’ as an excuse for this book’s take on… everything. But what will you do in 2025? Say Gloria Teach …
