Hahahaha I have not. Depending on your opinion of both women, comparing Taylor to Hilldawg can either be cringe or funny. Hillary would probably fit much more to Ward's protagonist:

___::: Victoria is much more likely to justify herself through law and legitimate channels. She is much more confident and ambitious (not in the reluctant way Taylor limited herself too). I do think it's funny twitter libs thought comparing Hillary Clinton to a crime lord who seizes power through any means she deems necessary was a good thing. I haven't finished Ward quite yet, so no endgame spoilerinos. But what have you thought about that?
This is the thread
I haven't finished Ward either, still on X.4. I actually dropped it and got more invested in Pale , by the same author. Its set in the same universe as Pact, which is my favorite paranormal/modern fantasy setting by far. But you don't need to read Pact to check on Pale, they are completely independent stories.
spoiler
The issue with the thread apart from the obvious lib shit is that, if Scion is Trump, then Taylor isn't Hillary. Teacher would be Hillary, as he is trying to "fight" Scion using the establishment that lead him to power, but only to attain power for himself in a plausibly more malicious way.
What Taylor did doesn't fit in electoralism in any shape or form. She jailbroke her own brain, ruining her own life and pushing mankind to disarray to defeat an evil at all costs. In this same metaphor, she would be more akin to a Violent Revolution than any electoral option, as she refused to concede.
Oh I loved Pact, my favorite magic system/world building for an Urban fantasy. I even attempted a reread on it, though on the 2nd time I don't think I got much farther than Toronto. Will definitely get to Pale once I finish Ward. Twig didn't do it for me, but it was also the first WB book I read as it was coming out. I prefer to read them when they're all finished personally. I fell off track with Ward several times.
imho the sequel is much less endearing with a worse protagonist(first chapter spoiler:)

She's a cop
but still very interesting. A friend of mine absolutelly loved it, so tastes may vary.
I find that best story from the author is Pact. Its a work of genius, ridiculously creative and well-thought. If you like we paranormal stuff and symbolism in the slightest, I think you'll enjoy it.

:meow-hug: I also love Pact from the same author
Worm is so fucking good, people here need to read it.
Have you ever seen the twitter thread that compares Taylor to Hillary Clinton? I'm scared of presenting good books to too many libs.

I stopped reading partway through and need to get back to it. Is the sequel good?
