My native language is not English, forgive my mistakes.
So, after reading most of the comments in here and gathering the opinion of various people, yes, the author is a great author and one of the very few to make good plots—this can vary to some—but right now we're talking about this work specifically, and to be honest, from my point of view, this story could've started better. What I mean is that since the story revolves around a time in the past where millions of people suffered slavery and got separated from their human rights and dignity it would, of course, be a sensitive topic for almost everybody, because being real and talking about reality comes with a consequence. Jaxx decided to create a story like this, romanticizing it, and even though if she made enough research about it, she could've taken another path for her work to come off differently. Why, instead of involving something real into a fictional story, did she not think about adding something like sci-fi or action or stuff like that? In the past I read her other works, and from where I can remember explicitly, she involves real life matters into her works, but this goes beyond that, instead of creating a story that involved different settings (present, past or future settings) that could've gotten interpreted by the public (like her other works) she created a story where the setting involved something real that happened—and that keeps happening at the big 2026—without thinking it a little bit further. It was a mistake, she could've thought about it thoroughly and could've gathered distinct points of view from her general/international community, to make her work better (not completely better, because, since I have already mentioned, slavery it's a very sensitive topic). When some authors get ideas or simply get that sudden spark of creativity to create a work, they get carried away by the thought of it, of a new work, that's why assistants and even editors should make them companion, to guide them and avoid situations like the one she's going through right now.
I hope I didn't come off as rude, I tried gathering my thoughts and avoid contradicting myself when writing this, this is just how I see the situation, and I thought it would be a great idea to share my pov.
I don't mind corrections, I don't mind if you have doubts with my comment—i'm willing to answer!
Exactly you shouldn’t romanticize such event ? It’s like romanticizing holocaust and saying the n-zi mc a savior because the n-zi mc saved the ml Jew from getting gaz killed, while it’s the bare minimum, as well for when the mc for giving back the freedom of slave by letting them free its bare minimum treating other human however their race,culture or religion as equals, Jaxx was trying to picture the mc as heroic for « saving » the slaves and going to war, you did a very good resume and stayed respectful so id doubt you will get hate but again Jaxx fans are missing a few screws
