I'm disappointed. The books are SO good and I can't wait for the third one to come out this year.

Good thing there's still the books; gimme the third.

This is such bullshit. The cast and crew should not have to suffer because this woman wanted to appropriate Indigenous identities.
I know it says they talked to everyone but "Fully respecting everyone’s perspective" seems dicey.

The show was good, really good. And I'm really looking forward to the third book.

I wonder if it means that cast and crew weren't comfortable continuing on because she would continue to make money as the co-creator, even if she was no longer involved.

[caitiecait]

Oh, that's actually a very good point. I didn't think about that at all

[ahkna]

That the guy that co-created all the Arrowverse shows with Greg Berlanti apparently got $10+ million when he was fired for sexually harassing the cast and crew ran through my head.

[frankthesheep]

Since she didn't write the book it was based on, couldn't they just bring in a new person to replace her?

[therearewords]

They want the flavour, but not use the spices.
