#kuwei truly was never given a single trait other than mean petty griping and the aforementioned nonconsensual kiss

#sometimes i think about how soc was one of the biggest recent ya books
#and how baked into a key element of the end is like magic yellowface plastic surgery
#like straight up the disasterous characterization of kuwei and the way that plot is handled was one of the reasons i took
#a million years to finish the second book
#'this character has a crush on another boy and the boy that boy likes has had
#his face magically made to look like the asian first boy so he takes advantage to kiss the second boy without his consent'
#like truly its wild how so many elements of the book can be so good and geared to my specific interests and still hold no rereading interest
#inej and kaz were great jesper was fun but the plot about him having a crush on kaz was dumb but otherwise love his vibes
#waylan had a lot of potential but only really got interesting once he was all in on the crim lifestyle and the aforementioned yellowface is
#of course a big yikes
#nina and matthias. i understand the role of their characters but. they didnt need so much focus
#kuwei truly was never given a single trait other than mean petty griping and the aforementioned nonconsensual kiss
#and that is such an active choice by the author like
#its six of crows heres the seventh i give no traits to only weird racializing semi homophobic stuff oh wait wdym no one makes content of him
#this is another book that also suffered from 'i am giving every character a viewpoint chapter' and its simply a pet peeve of mine
#anyways kiki strike *handshake emoji* six of crows
#books i like that have weirdly unremarked upon yellowface that the narrative goes out of its way to justify as being really accurate
#also i know there is headcanons and i think word of god comments from bardugo about kaz being asian or picturing him that way
#and its fascinating how i can totally see that great headcanon but. it does not once make its way into the plot
#and everyone else gets clear racial distinctions that the audience clearly recieved
#but kaz just got generic dark haired white boy designation bc coughcough thats how hes written
