181797, Anybody read Karen Miller's "Godspeaker" trilogy?

I think it's more fantasy than sci-fi, but I just wanted to be able to share my outrage.

In quick summation, the first novel tricks you into thinking you've finally found a female protagonist of color.
She's sold into slavery but runs away and joins an army with the help of her god. She becomes an empress.

Next book is all about this white woman who has to fight to take hold of her rightful throne
after her father dies. She gets help from a Christ-like figure.

Next book, white queen has to join forces with others (including magical Asians) to stop the black empress
from taking over the world in the name of her god, which turns out to be a demon lord.
The black empress is defeated, and her exiled son helps everyone else stop her. Because he sees the white light.

Please tell me someone else has read this bullshit and threw the book across the room? lol.
