The Soldier and the Tailor

Post-Prism and during-Prism Kade West from Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. I love this dapper lad. Favorite character hands down. I realize that I might be the only person on the Earth that read Kade's description and that he is from Oklahoma and assumed he was Afro-Indigenous (still unsure if Creek or Choctaw). 

[Image ID: a digital illustration of two backlit versions of Kade West. The version on the left is a young Black man mending a piece of fabric. He is wearing a burgundy vest over a cream button-up, pegged jeans, and leather loafers/moccasins. His hair is short and in neat waves. His expression is calm/neutral. The version on the right is the same man but a couple years younger. He is wearing golden bracers on forearm and shin, the shin guards attach to sandals. He has flowing see through sleeves and loose pink trousers. His hair is long and curly with an afro-poof at the end of a tight ribbon. He has a grimace of determination on his face and is brandishing a golden sword with little diamonds floating next to it - the same little diamonds hang from his ears. The background is a sunset gradient with 4 yellow prisms arranged to resemble wings.]

Some minor Spoilers for Mislaid in Parts Half-Known and possibly previous books

Ok, so I've finished Mislaid in Parts Half-Known and after a few days to chew, I have so thoughts.

What the fuck is going on in Prism!?

Like, the doors are an outside factor. No world controls them and Antsy considers them an sorting system for the worlds, give people the opportunity to find a place that suits them better then and world they were born in. (see. the boy who disappeared from Confection)

This doesn't always work out, because losing your conviction and being unable to choose leaves you stuck in your birth world and because the worlds and the people in them have their own laws, bias, and desires that the doors don't care about/understand (see. Lundy, the Queen of Cakes, the false headmaster) but that is the intent.

But is the implication here that Prism is opening doors intentionally to take girls? Antsy describes the door to Prism found in Kade's attic as predatory.

Or do doors open for children who would be happy in Prism and the fairies are idk killing the boys or smth? The hunting party encountered in Mislaid implies that they can just detect a door opening and go to collect whoever falls out of them.

The way Antsy described Seraphina's world also seemed to imply that they were somehow opening doors and targeting specific individuals. Which is not outside possibility. Jack proves that in books 1 and 5, and Rini in book 3.

Everything I'm getting from this latest entry is either the faeries of Prism intentionally kidnapped Kade by sending a door to him, OR he was legitimately meant to find happiness in Prism.

But if the latter was true, I don't think the fairies were supposed to be the ones to find him. He described going into the goblin woods because he found them calming. Still rainbow and color changing, but slower and more gradual about it. The goblin(s) who speak to Sumi refer to him as their Prince and appear to have always had only the highest respect for him. And Kade talks about the Goblin King as the first adult/adultish figure to have allowed him to be himself and exist without expectations. Possibly still the only adult other than Eleanor, who herself was still expecting Kade to be a nonsense traveler at first.

So what I'm saying is,

Did the fairies steal Kade from Earth, from the Goblins, and what the fuck is happening in Prism!?!?!?

[stoneandleadart]

"I went to a Fairyland. I spent three years there, chasing rainbows and growing up by inches. I killed a Goblin King with his own sword, and he made me his heir with his dying breath, the Goblin Prince in Waiting." Kade walked off into the maze of books, still carrying Nancy's suitcase. His voice drifted back, betraying his location. "The King was my enemy, but he was the first adult to see me clearly in my entire life. The court of the Rainbow Princess was shocked, and they threw me down the next wishing well we passed. I woke up in a field in the middle of Nebraska, back in my ten-year-old body, wearing the dress I'd had on when I first fell into Prism."
