THE SPACE ELVES WERE SO GREAT. Also, all of the nerdy jokes about theater and opera.
See, I kept wanting people to react even more vehemently, though! Like, the whole thing at the beginning where it turns out a bunch of Sadiri have been basically launching a stealth campaign to breed with the locals and collect the children, and Delarua is just like, "um, that's ineffective." Which: true, but it's also ineffective AND DICKISH, and I can't whether it's a deliberate social-mores thing that Delarua takes it totally in stride, or whether Karen Lord doesn't actually think it's as dickish as I do.
