Ok, am reading all of the fablehavens. They're like brain bubblegum which I kinda need atm.

The things I didn't like from the first one are still there and I have a couple of additional wualms including: - only describing the skin colour of non-white characters (I getvtetchy about white as default) - The use of Indigenous characters in a way that feels like the relevant communities were not consulted. It's not that descriptions are bad per se, it's just that I am not sure whether they are described in a way that makes sense within the cultures described.

Mind you I like the representation, but I am a little on the fence since this has been done wrong so many times historically. Plus it's a childrens book so all the characters in it are somewhat stereotyped, even the genderedness feels limited though I can't put my finger exactly on why.
