adventurous lighthearted

I almost didn't finish this one. It had so much potential, and then was.... very indelicately executed. Our girl Alys is straight up in yellowface for like 2/3 of the book. There's a lot of discussion of the importance and value of traditional gender roles. I've really liked this series for its emphasis on using everyone's strengths to come together and solve the problem, but this one spoiled the message with the racism and sexism.
