shades fills you in

J.K. Rowling’s “Ink Black Heart” dropped on August 30, 2022. It’s about a creator getting canceled, doxxed, and murdered because of her transphobia. Isn’t that you JK? -- NPR

But Rowling insists that the new novel wasn’t inspired by her own experiences. Rolling Stone calls BS

Yeah, pretty much everyone agrees it’s inspired by her Twitter beefs. The Sunday Times is into it, and says it’s a great clapback

Inews says it’s an enjoyable read, but still has some issues: It’s a little out of touch, and kind of sexist for an author who so vehemently decries misogyny

The Telegraph gives it 3/5 stars. People may not like her views, but the book itself is good ole “comforting crime fiction”

But Cracked.com thinks the whole thing is pure clownery. How is she not even a little bit embarrassed?

The Mary Sue calls it “bad self-insert fanfic.” She basically wrote a whole novel just to childishly dunk on her critics

Current Affairs agrees, this is a product of Rowling’s chronically online brainrot. It’s full of pages of fake Twitter feuds. Where was her editor??

Unherd is a defender, though. Rowling isn’t just trying to dunk on her critics -- she’s painting a real, thoughtful if critical portrait of them
