Whilst I'm glad to see a God who's equally over the whole "reality is greyish brown (and probably fascist), and sf/f should be 'realistic'" thing, I was a little disappointed that her vantage doesn't let her suggest a soloution specifically for those of us who grew up in a world where we've only seen an increase in senseless violence, nuclear armament and ecological catastrophe (I suspect the soloution is actually steampunk, but we need to wrest that out of the hands of the Imperialist aesthetic): as it stands it's basically the middle of Tolkien's On Fairy Stories from 1939, with "and try harder". It's like being a god doesn't make people super-smart and infinitely wise or something...
