Amazon's wheel of time. Took agency away from the male lead. Also all the men in the show are superfluous to it despite being 3 male leads. It's a disgrace. I can deal with narrative restructuring but it would have been almost exactly the same if the 3 main characters were literally not in the show.

Reply to Carl Sagan's vision of today's world by Jeff_Souza
For a laugh watch some of George Carlin's old specials from the 70s and see how relevant they remain and how salient his points are when it comes to politics.

Short answer: Yes. It was Butcher's first book. A lot of the inconsistencies you mention are somewhat plot relevant and/or embraced as such. Keep reading its a fantastic series.

Reply to I just can’t with the forced romances in mysteries and thrillers! They are so ridiculous by ginnygrakie
Not just books, forced romance in all media. I think it's a ham fisted attempt by corporations to include 'something for the ladies'. Sex is similar, but for shock value, or the teen and perv (pretty synonymous IMO) demographic.
Think of the last piece of media you consumed that did NOT have sex or romance somehow. Barring maybe kid centric content, and that'd a maybe, it's always there.
I think both CAN be useful plot devices or character expressions, but not in everything.
