Castle in the Air

While I did enjoy reading this book, there are some questionable/problematic things that bothered me.

1. always comparing women, who is better than the other, who is more beautiful etc. While it's not too obvious most of the time, it does bother me a lot at the end. Yes, I get it, you like her more than the other princesses but don't compare them like that. 2. Something about the portrayal of the 'south' and their characters bothers me.. I feel like there are a lot of stereotypes in this book..

I believe this book is very much a product of its time, especially given the time it was written and published.
