Don't judge a book by it's cover
I just found out that 1 of the books I loved to read as a child actually featured a black or brown main character. But whoever designed the book cover either automatically thought she was white or decided to make her white. WTF. It's a problem either way.

One thing I love about rereading books that were dear to me when I was younger is that I have a better understanding about Why I loved a particular book and what it meant to me. Like it used to be "oh this story makes me feel a lot of emotions and cry, but in a good way, idk" and now it's like "oh, yeah, this book makes me feel emotions and cry because one of the central themes of it is about having to reconcile the complexities of human people, and how you can love someone who hurt you or hurt others, you can understand the way someone can love you and still hurt you, deeply, and those two things do not cancel each other out and can exist at the same time" and, additionally, "that message is really going to resonate and hit for someone who has an abusive family, but hasn't recognized that they're abusive because they love her and she loves them, and hasn't realized both of those things can be true"
Like it's just funny to me that I remember saying to a friend who was reading these books for the first time "oh I just like the second book the most, I don't really know why, it's just my favorite and makes me cry the most" and then now, some years of therapy of later and a lot more introspection under my belt, I'm like "yeah the second book is my favorite and Still makes me cry the most, and I know Exactly why it does lmao"
The other fun about rereading books that were important to me as a child now is that I can also be like "hm yeah I was definitely still a horse girl when I first read that book and it had a non-zero impact on my appreciation for these characters"

Wtf is Patricide Jealousy??
LOL.
This contains spoilers for Bitterblue, Graceling's sequel, which I don't think you have read yet? They're not plot related but they ARE important. I'll put it under a cut so you can choose whether you want to read them.
Basically: Fire appears in Bitterblue! She's a middle-aged women by then (~50 IIRC), and I LOVED seeing her again.
But. Given Bitterblue's own relationship with her father, king Leck, its significance on the book, his looming presence in the story, her loathing for him and how if I'm not mistaken she expresses desire to/fantasizes with killing him...
I kept expecting the book to mention Fire murdered her own evil father! And then it didn't lmao. I keep thinking it doesn't make sense and I must've missed it in some throwaway line but???
It was just this one tiny thing that bothered me and I kept thinking of a conversation between the two women about it, and how Bitterblue would react to those news.
This is a very old idea and I don't remember if I wrote notes about it somewhere, so that's all I have for now LOL.
