I dont care how good the story is if it cant outgrow biases. The leads super white the old romani lady is conveniently a darker shade in a setting that’s clearly all white. So unorignal at this point, I want to say grow up and out grow biases and stereotypes please. & dont use the she is poort and not clean since when does that affect skin colour. So disappointed
Romani are gypses, descended from darker skinned dravidians. They aren't Scandinavian.
I initially thought that but the girls mom is romani too right, so shouldnt she be that shade too
My point isn’t that she shouldn’t be a darker shade btw, my point is that in this whole story thedarker shade just happens to be that one character in those specific settings
Oh I somehow missed that detail. That's just inconsistent then.
Your problem needs to be with the need for all these fantasy stories to be in a vaguely anachronistic Victorian Europe place then. If that's the template, that carries with it certain realties. Now, it's fantasy so does it matter that much? Not really. But the image in our minds of the old gypsy medicine lady is what it is because it's a real thing. The image of a medicine lady who is whiter conjures a different kind of quasi-mystic encounter.
Although hey if you really just want no brown people at all in the story I'm fine with that too. Gypsies are a problem.
And I do have a problem with them. Again I want brown people in them. And its fiction I get that but its more than just that its fiction or trying to be accurate . Its that the usage of it in most cases is to potray the character as either poor or evil. And its often reserved for those characters the author sees that way. I read a story where the only time a darker shade was used was for the mannequins and every one else was white but hey they were wealthy. To me it’s just a potrayal if a bias that just leaks out over and over again. If you look at it as a larger picture most of the characters associate with negativity or poverty or less than will somehow be a dark shade than the other. It doesn't have to be race wise they’ll be the tanned delinquents, tanned demons etc
Why is it so hard to let this marinate!!!!!!

This is so good, thanks to all the comments that encouraged me to pick it up again. Definitely worth the read. Very beautiful story, I cried so much but loved it so much too. They are both the beloved oppressor.
This is sooo good, the pacing the story telling,& the fact that MC is strong but so likeable . Please recommend something like this that is murim, and similar trope but without the MC coming off as proud?

Joining the line since I've yet to find one as good as this

The way Mc actually acts her age, the fully well written character lives and its funny, not the forced reactions or exaggerated faces to make it funny. Its a gem
I love the story, however I wish FL has friends her age and its cute with the kids and everything but I get bothered by kids acting and thinking like adults saying stuff adults should be saying and it getting passed off as cuteness & love from kids. The kids should be kids.
Remember when they used to be so in innocent and composed
