All in White (Ongoing) - Your father, that major of Neuva York, was hosting a party congratulating their safe environment by the hands of Spider-Man.

Since I’m officially done with the main guides to Stray Kids, I figured I’d do a couple fun guides, just for, well, fun. I wanted to start off with the dynamics between the boys. I’ve already talked about the three main rachas (3Racha, Danceracha, Vocalracha), but I thought it would be fun to talk a little about each friendship. (If you want to see even more about them, I’m going to have a playlist related to each post, and I currently have a finished dynamics series!) (There is 28 different pairings in this group, so they have to be broken up into multiple posts, lmao)
This post contains the following dynamics: Bang Chan and Felix; Lee Know and Changbin; Lee Know and Seungmin; Changbin and Hyunjin; Hyunjin and Han; Han and Felix; and Felix and I.N.
*Sort of a disclaimer: Each pairing will have a little nickname/identifier attached to them. Most of them come from stays themselves, whether directly or indirectly, but some of them I kind of had to create on my own. They may not be super creative, but it is what it is, lmao
Bang Chan and Felix - “the aussie bros”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
nickname is pretty obvious, lol. they’re both from australia
another ‘soulmate’ duo.
both boys have talked about how comfortable it is between the two of them and how they don’t have to be extra to show each other how much they care, they can just be. chan even stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if they lived together later on in life.
they clearly have a very special connection, i imagine being two aussie boys in south korea, far away from home without their families, helped make that bond stronger. i think chan has even talked about how he didn’t want felix to feel as lonely and depressed as he did, being so far from home, so he was there for him.
when felix was eliminated during the survival show, chan told him to come find him, that he would never leave him behind, and honestly, it makes me emotional just thinking about it
felix has mentioned, but i can’t remember where, that chan is like a real brother to him
chan is always telling felix how great his singing is and how much he’s improved. honestly, chan is just great at hyping up the other members.
Pairing name: Chanlix
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube
Lee Know and Changbin - ‘the loud bunnies’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
both of their skzoo characters are bunnies (even if changbin’s is mixed with a pig) and they are both loud. very loud. the loudest in the group, honestly
their love language is hand holding and food
completely unexpected. i never expected to love this duo as much as I do, but they may be my favorite friendship in the group
this is one of those duos that feels like we don’t see a lot of it. like, they’re more lowkey, a lot closer than we’d expect.
chan’s left and right hands. they help out with the other members a lot, and they also have a lot of affection and love for the other members.
there’s so much of them that’s been happening for this comeback, it’s wonderful
they both have each other as their phone backgrounds and it’s so funny and cute. that’s what clued me in that they might be closer than it seems. they have stated that they do this because it makes them laugh, and honestly, i bet they make each other laugh all the time
the romantics of the group, apparently (them and felix). the boys chose them, mainly lee know, as the most romantic, and i know they were kind of being silly and were talking about stay, but i’d like to think that lee know really is romantic, but like...lowkey romantic. and changbin just screams that he’s big on the romance, not gonna lie
they apparently fought a lot in their trainee/early debut days, but the other boys have stated that they would make up pretty easily
Pairing name: Minbin
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube
Lee Know and Seungmin - “the divorced couple”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we finally made it here, lmao
listen, don’t listen to these two dumbasses
they go on and on about how they ‘don’t fit’ or ‘don’t get along’, etc.
but they care about each other so much, it’s insane
seungmin literally cried an entire river when lee know was eliminated on the survival show, and although i don’t know the source, i’ve seen fans say he stated that lee know was his favorite hyung at some point
lee know has talked about how seungmin was kind to him in the beginning and how thankful he was for that, and while he teases and bugs him a lot, it’s clearly out of affection (once again, gotta mention that 9th episode again, since lee know wrote his letter to seungmin about how he was thankful to him for helping him adjust to trainee life.)
lee know also never shuts up about seungmin and finds ways to talk about him on the regular
arguably more alike than they will ever admit
despite appearances, lee know is the softie in this duo
but seungmin still cares a bunch, of course
they’re referred to as a divorced couple because of the popular sketch that the group did. there’s actually 2 videos: the original and the follow up they did for their 3rd anniversary. they’re really hilarious, and I highly recommend checking them out! It’ll also be helpful because the boys reference these two videos a lot, so watching them will let you in on some inside jokes)
Pairing name: 2min
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube (there’s so many videos out there for these two, i recommend all of them, lmao)
Changbin and Hyunjin - ‘cuddle buddies’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was the first duo that hooked me, honestly
and it’s mainly because of the thousand and one clips of these two being cuddled up together during lives and interviews (reason # 495904 why no one believes hyunjin when he says he hates skinship)
changbin will never shut up about how much he loves hyunjin and how wonderful he thinks he is, and that’s valid, honestly
changbin is one of the co-presidents of the ‘everyone loves hyunjin’ club.
he’s so obvious about it that the group teases him, lmao. you can see this in their recent video celebrating Chuseok. changbin selected hyunjin’s name for an activity, and although it was supposed to be kept a secret, everyone knew who he picked immediately, because changbin is not subtle
however, hyunjin is always like ‘no’ and it’s a hilarious dynamic
but he’ll be like ‘ew, no’ while being cuddled up to changbin at the same time
it’s clear that hyunjin find comfort in changbin and, if im not mistaken, they’ve been close since trainee days, but i can’t remember where i heard that
changbin definitely makes hyunjin laugh a lot, but again, hyunjin laughs a lot in general, lol
Pairing name: Changjin or Hyunbin
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube
Hyunjin and Han - ‘enemies to lovers’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
got into a lot of arguments as trainees, or at least, didn’t get along very well. han has been very open about being difficult and angry when he was younger and he tended to have issues with communication. they talked about their ‘feud’ in their 2 kids room episode and stated it was over hyunjin trying to help han out with something and han lashing out at him for it. they’ve talked about their fighting multiple times, even in earlier 2 kids room episodes from previous seasons. they’ve talked about how they almost physically fought once and how they were just terrible at communicating with each other.
but they’ve also both stated that all that fighting in their earlier days brought them closer together, because they have nothing to hide and can just be themselves with each other.
their fighting is where the ‘dance better, rap better’ stuff comes from that you’ll see a lot in skz content. its based off an argument the two had.
but don’t be fooled by the fighting in their earlier days. they’re very close now, and there’s clearly a great affection and love there, as well as respect
in fact, han is the other co-president of the ‘everyone loves hyunjin’ club
if it’s not changbin, it’s han all over hyunjin and these two basically just fight for his affection, but he wants none of it, lmao
just wants a kiss, lmao
also the dumb and dumber duo. i once stated that it’s wild they didn’t get along before because they share one braincell and that one brain cell is constantly thinking of ways to be funny and dramatic as hell
part of paboracha (from the korean word that means idiot or fool), which is a nickname the fans came up with to affectionately refer to the trio of hyunjin, han, and lee know after a live with these three being silly and answering riddles (i highly recommend looking it up, it’s so funny)
Pairing name: Hyunsung
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube
Han and Felix - “the sunshine twins”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
their birthdays are one day apart, hence the twins thing. some fans even speculate that, because of time zones and whatnot (considering han was born in korea, and felix was born in australia), they may have been born around the same time. although, i have no idea if that’s accurate
they honestly give me similar but different vibes. like, the same person, but not. it’s so hard to explain.
i could go on and on about how they are so similar but so different, honestly
another soulmate duo, in my opinion. there’s a lot in the group, but the whole group fits, lmao
i think they bonded pretty early on? i’m not 100% sure on that, but from the clips on the survival show, han was the first one to hug felix when he returned, and he seemed so happy. they seem pretty close, either way
they both light up a room, i think the group has even said this, but i can’t remember where, lmao
when han does his little kissing thing (you’ll know what i mean after like, 1 video compilation, i swear), felix will joke around with him and try to kiss back, lmao
little nerds. felix is really into gaming and can even put together a computer (?) and han is always into random and nerdy stuff, from what i can tell.
Pairing name: Jilix
Their 2 Kids Room episode
Random video compilation on Youtube
Felix and I.N. - “the angels”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
referred to as angels during their 2 kids room episode (by changbin, i think)
get babied by the fans the most, and i bet it can get annoying for them, considering they’re in their twenties
these two seem to be into clothes and fashion the most? at least, just from what i’ve seen. i.n. is always showing us his outfits of the day, and i believe felix has talked about spending lots of money on clothes (i hope i’m not misremembering that, lol) and seems to be into trying new things with his outfits
underrated. felix brings in a lot of fans, but he tends to get overlooked for his dancing, and it’s ridiculous, since it’s a core member of danceracha. and while i.n. does get praise for his vocals, he tends to get a little more overlooked than han or seungmin. again, neither of these happen that often, more often than not, fans praise all the boys. but if we had to discuss being underrated, than yea.
they clearly adore each other very much and one of the members (lee know?) said that they are lovey-dovey with each other
but there’s not a ton about them? at least, not that i see on the daily.
i.n. once did an asmr video with felix and i have to be honest, i love it. it was so good and cute, i recommend checking it out
Pairing name: Jeonglix

Review: The Women’s War by Jenna Glass
Tumblr media
-I have read and enjoyed books that are not perfectly socially just in their approach to marginalized groups. I am capable of evaluating a book on its execution, not just whether I agree with its political stance.
-However.
-A book that is explicitly billed as a "high fantasy feminist epic" wants to be a manifesto, and therefore I feel free to criticize its politics accordingly.
-And so.
-If your feminism does not include LBPQ women, it is bullshit.
-If your feminism does not include trans women, nor address the relationship between patriarchy and gender essentialism by including trans men and nonbinary people, it is bullshit.
-If your feminism does not include disabled women, it is bullshit.
-If your feminism does not include fat women, it is bullshit.
-If your feminism makes only the barest gestures toward acknowledging that men are also harmed by the patriarchy, it is bullshit.
Further complaints:
(Initial note: I refer in this post to “women” and “men” in the book’s fictional setting with the same level of cisnormativity that the book uses. This is because if I used the correct inclusive language, ie “uterus owners” instead of “women capable of becoming pregnant” when discussing in-universe characters and events, it would make it sound like the author used that inclusive language, which she emphatically did not. When I refer, in this post, to “women” as synonomous with “people who can get pregnant” or “people who are subject to misogyny”, it’s because that’s how the author writes. Rest assured that I know trans theory, even though the author doesn’t.)
So the premise of this book is that a generations-in-the-making conspiracy finally comes to fruition with a globally-effective spell that prevents women from conceiving or carrying a pregnancy against their will. The second half of the spell relates to the prevention and punishment of rape - more on that later in the post.
There is an ensemble cast of characters from two different countries and several different societal positions:
Alys, the daughter of the king of Aaltah, who was declared illegitimate when her father divorced her mother to marry someone else;
Jinnell, Alys’ young adult daughter;
Shelvon, the abused wife of the crown prince of Aaltah (the king’s younger son and Alys’ half brother);
Chanlix, a woman who was relegated to the "Abbey of the Unwanted", where noblewomen who are rejected by their families are sent in a combination of disownment and coerced sex work, and now finds herself the Abbess and responsible for guiding the rest of the "abigails" into the future shaped by the spell;
Ellin, a princess from the country of Rhozinolm, who becomes queen of Rhozinolm in her own right following the unexpected deaths of the king and all the close male heirs;
and various other more minor POVs.
Alys’ mother Brenna was the previous Abbess, one of the women who died to cast the spell and arguably the one most responsible for it, and both Alys and Jinnell face problems from association with “the most reviled woman in Aaltah’s history”.
-If you read that and thought "wow, that sounds like one of those books that wants to be a TV show", you would be right! It absolutely wants to be a TV show. Specifically it wants to be the next Handmaid's Tale. This "cinematic" style in books doesn't usually annoy me, but for whatever reason this one did.
-Aside from not including any fat women, the only fat men are antagonists who are either exaggeratedly evil or incompetently awful, and are described with words like "corpulent" and depicted lacking self-control in regards to food.
-I debated on whether to include this as a complaint, so consider this bullet point a provisional complaint: there is no racism, antisemitism, or Islamophobia in this setting, as there is no systemic racism, or any irl religions. The characters are all fairly racially ambiguous. (Hence why I didn't refer to exclusion of WOC as a your-feminism-is-bullshit point above.)
However, just because there's no racism or religious bigotry in the setting doesn't mean the author didn't bring her own biases to the story. I quote goodreads user pdbkwm, who wrote an extensive one-star review of this book:
He falls in love for an older Abby, a discarded woman who is forced into sex work, and tells her this:
"But for now, just take it off. It's only you and me, and I assure you I won't be scandalized at the sight of a woman's hair."
Abbys have to wear heavy wimples and a cloak around their bodies...sound familiar? It seems like whenever there’s a novel about feminism, there’s always a subset of women who are so oppressed that they have to wear some sort of head covering. As a hijabi, I’m just tired of these tropes. When it comes to Muslim stories, there’s always this white boy who encourages the Muslim girl to shed her hijab off and embrace his way of life. Tynthanal’s entire purpose is to be that white guy, even though I don’t think he’s actually white in the book. He’s described as nut-brown, but who knows what nut this is referring to.
I'm not hijabi, but on a technical level, the depiction of the issue of the abigails wearing robes felt very shallow and unexamined. I don't think Chanlix, the Abbess, was even ever described as wearing a head covering until the scene pdbkwm references, so it was a weird surprise to have this major dynamic-building moment between Chanlix and Tynthanal be based around a detail of Chanlix's character that had never been talked about before.
The only aspect of that plot point that I approved of is that after the scene where Chanlix is willing to take off the head covering when alone with Tynthanal, she does continue to wear it when in wider company. The other abigails are also described (in a one-off sentence) as variously choosing to continue wearing their robes or not, and to wear dresses or pants as they prefer. This is, however, the bare minimum of showing that women are individuals who want different things.
The psychology of modesty is a complicated issue, not only loaded with sociopolitical context but also just difficult to parse. Different individuals have different feelings about modesty, so I’m not going to say that Chanlix’s feelings about her clothing are unrealistic, but I was hoping for a higher level of nuance in the depiction of her attitude towards modesty garb, both her own and the other abigails’.
Further: I don’t understand how a ~feminist author~ doesn’t realize that a man telling a woman to take off a garment because her not wearing it won’t bother him is not appealing. His comfort is not the issue here!
-The magic system is interesting, influenced by alchemy and requiring that naturally occurring elements be combined in certain ways to create spells. However, this is tainted by gender essentialism, as there are "male", "female" and "neuter" elements and the expected way of the world is that only men can see male elements and only women can see female ones. There is a point where Alys realizes she can see some male elements, but it's not because she's trans.
-The parameters of the anti-pregnancy spell are that a woman will not become pregnant against her will, and that the spell can tell when a woman is being coerced and won’t let her become pregnant if she consents under coercion either. Since coercion can be either outright or subtle, I had a very hard time suspending my disbelief to accept that the spell can figure out something that a woman might not even know herself.
We see the spell in action in the case of Shelvon, who has been pressured for a long time to produce an heir for the crown prince (Delnamal, the main antagonist of the book). Shelvon was wed to Delnamal as part of an international trade agreement, which requires an active marriage between the two countries. Shelvon’s plotline includes facing the risk that if she can’t produce an heir, Delnamal will divorce her, and Jinnell will have to marry Shelvon’s father, a known abuser, in order to maintain the trade agreement. Even though Shelvon wants to save Jinnell from that fate, her not wanting to bear Delnamal’s child is enough for the spell to prevent her from becoming pregnant.
The author does not seem to be aware that choice is an action, not a feeling, and that rational human beings are capable of making choices contradictory to their unreasoning emotions. The ability to choose something that goes against our base instincts is one of the things that makes us human rather than animals; the spell takes that option away from some women like Shelvon.
The confusion gets worse with the second half of the spell, which as I said above concerns consequences for rape. We are told about the element “kai”, which relates to death. Prior to the events of the story it was only ever produced by men when they died slow, violent deaths, and could be used to create spells of mass destruction. However, the spell cast by Alys’ mother allows for a new kind of kai, women’s kai, which is produced when a woman is raped by a man. (Of course the book never references the possibility of men being rape victims or women being rapists.) I immediately thought this wouldn’t actually help any women, because it would turn women from baby factories into weapons factories; but the author hastened to plaster this plot hole by saying that a mote of kai can only be used by the woman it belongs to, and she can’t be forced or coerced in its use either. Ok, fine. But the next detail is that a woman only receives a mote of kai if she resisted/said no to her rapist. Somehow we are expected to believe that the very same spell that can tell whether a woman is being coerced into becoming pregnant, is incapable of telling when a woman was coerced into sex even if she didn’t actively resist.
From a technical perspective, the only reason the author constructed the spell this way is so that Shelvon, who submits to Delnamal despite her hatred of him, wouldn’t have a mote of kai that she could use on him. I call so much bullshit.
This second half of the spell also makes less sense in that, if the goal was to prevent rape, and the spellcasters were capable of creating spells that can read minds, I don’t understand why the spell only allows for punishing rape after the fact rather than stopping men from committing rape at all. They could have created a spell that made a guy’s boner go away at the sound of the word “no”, or made a man fall unconscious when thoughts of committing rape appeared in his head.
Both parts of the spell including the provision against coercion also doesn’t inspire confidence that women’s lot in society will improve. Just because a woman can’t be coerced by threats, torture, starvation, or any other means to concieve or to use her mote of kai, doesn’t mean men won’t still hurt women to confirm through experimentation that coercion doesn't work, or to take out their frustrations that they can’t make women behave anymore. And a male rapist who becomes impotent as a result of his victim using her mote of kai can still hurt women nonsexually, or even still commit more sexual assault by means other than with his penis.
I would have accepted if either Brenna or any of the other female POVs had acknowledged that the spell couldn’t possibly be written with enough detail to protect every woman from every kind of sexist violence, but no one ever did. It’s just not good writing.
-There is only a very basic level of differing characterization between Alys, Jinnell, Chanlix, Shelvon, and Ellin. Multiple POV characters should bring different things to the narrative; otherwise, you could have just restricted the POV to one person.
There are very rarely any times when women wanting different things (at any level) is important to the story. There are multiple points where it seemed as though groundwork was being laid for a conflict of interests between two women, and then it just never went anywhere.
-There is one antagonistic female character who only appears in a single scene; she is a chaperone who supervises Jinnell on Delnamal's orders to enforce his control over Jinnell. She is the only exception  — and a very minor one  — to a rule that otherwise spans the entire book: all the female characters are "good guys". There are no other female antagonists, nor are there any other situations where a female character does anything that inconveniences or harms any other female character. You can't be a feminist writer if you don't let female characters be wrong sometimes, with the agency for their bad decisions to actually cause problems.
At the very least you need to let female characters conflict with each other because of differing wants or needs, even if none of them are exactly "wrong". The premise of this book was perfectly set up to have some women supporting the patriarchy unquestioningly and/or some women who work with the patriarchy under duress; there could also have been women, or factions of women, who were all opposed to the patriarchy but had conflicting views about politics, ethics, and the best way to proceed into their new future. But instead, all the women seem to agree with each other about everything, even when it doesn’t make sense for them to do so.
-All the interpersonal dynamics between women have a tone of saccharine sweetness where no woman ever has any bad feelings about any other woman. Chanlix never feels so much as a brief resentment of the other abigails who she’s responsible for; Jinnell, despite being a teenager, never gets irritated with her mother; Alys does not get angry at Shelvon for being unable to produce an heir for Delnamal even as that puts Jinnell in danger; Shelvon, despite being habitually frightened and nervous of what Delnamal will do to her, doesn't resent other women for putting her in positions of increased risk, nor does her fear make other women resent her. The author evidently subscribes to the concept of the inherent sisterhood between all women, as unrealistic as it is. The experience of reading about the conflictless interpersonal relationships between women was exactly the same as eating pasta with no salt.
-You will also notice the high saturation of noblewomen in the main cast. Even Chanlix, while not currently allowed the status and privilege of a noblewoman, was born into a noble family, as are all the women relegated to the Abbey. There are no common-born women who get POV chapters. The only servant woman who gets any notable screen time is the personal maid of the queen; she is a Loyal Servant and that is her only character trait. She also only has a couple of scenes and is otherwise unimportant to the narrative. This is especially bizarre considering that one of Ellin's struggles as queen is not having very many people she can trust; we're told that she trusts the maid, but the maid has so little screen time that her position as a supposedly trusted confidante was meaningless to the narrative.
-Alys and Chanlix become friends, but their friendship is entirely uncompelling. Friendship between female characters is not interesting if the progression of the relationship is just “they exist in the same space and then they become friends”, and especially not when the narrative just says they're friends now without doing the work to actually portray the friendship.
-The world overall just doesn't seem to have poor people in it. One of the early plot events was an earthquake, which Alys predicted would cause a tidal wave; she immediately went out of her way to go to the harbor district that is mainly inhabited by the lower classes, and warn them of the upcoming tidal wave that would sweep away their neighborhood. This whole plot sequence was presumably meant to virtue-signal that Alys cares about poor people despite being a noblewoman, but the author avoided actually putting poor people on-page by only describing the sequence in retrospect.
Re economic status, while Chanlix is somewhat concerned with the problem of how to organize the abigails to make money to support themselves, the possible consequence of them all falling into poverty doesn't feel real. You know that post about how the MCU tells us that Peter Parker is poor and then depicts him tossing away his backpack when he needs to get into costume quickly, with no concern for getting it back, or consequences when he can't get it back? This felt like that. The narrative gestures vaguely in the direction of the abigails being working-class, but doesn't say anything realistic or believable about what their economic position actually feels like.
The plotline that Chanlix is part of is kicked off by the previous Abbess, Alys’ mother Brenna, casting the anti-pregnancy spell at the beginning. Even though Brenna didn’t survive the casting, the king and crown prince are determined to punish all the other abigails, and so send them all away into exile. Chanlix’s story is mainly about how the abigails establish a new town in exile, aided by the appearance of a new Well (where the magic in the world comes from) that allows them to create the same kind of spells they always have, and also experiment with magic to create new spells, and thereby establish themselves as useful to the surrounding settlements without having to continue their sex work.
There’s a description of the new town, Women’s Well, that says it’s a cooperative community where no one is desperately poor. This implies that the author is aware of the importance of community construction and maintenance that avoids letting anyone fall into poverty, but she continues to not depict poor people on page, or address feminist issues that affect poor women.
The whole Women’s Well plotline is badly executed in another way: Chanlix is the leader, and you would expect that her arc would be about her struggles with leadership, right? Even if the author is committed to no woman ever having negative feelings toward any other woman for any reason, and therefore doesn’t want to depict anyone opposing Chanlix’s leadership, Chanlix could still have a plot arc about gaining confidence in her leadership skills, right?
No such luck. There are ZERO scenes of Chanlix exercising her leadership after they arrive at the site where they will establish Women’s Well. The only scene in the entire book where she has to make a leadership decision is before they go into exile: one of the subordinate abigails has used her mote of kai to create a spell that will render a particular man permanently impotent. She asks Chanlix’s permission to cast it. Chanlix tells her no, but she does it anyway. Chanlix has a single moment of doubt as to what she should do  — punish the disobedience or let it go  — and decides to let it go. At the time, this read like foreshadowing for Chanlix being a weak leader who would struggle with keeping the people in her charge from constantly disobeying her. But like all the other things that seemed like groundwork for conflict, this never went anywhere.
-I never get the sense that any of the female characters like being women. Various women of the cast are said to have a range of interests, including Jinnell, the teenager, who likes ~frivolous~ female pursuits alongside many others who don't care; but nobody ever has so much as a single moment of (cis)gender euphoria where they are genuinely happy to be female. What the hell is female empowerment even for, if not that? (But of course if the author is a terf, she wouldn't want to approach such trans-influenced concepts as gender euphoria, even for cis people.)
I also would have expected a story about women's oppression to feature discussion of the injustice a female child feels as she reaches adolescence, and realizes what it means to be an adult woman in a sexist society. But by having the youngest POV character be 18, that whole phase of any woman's life is skipped over and ignored.
-The POV characters are a range of ages — Jinnell is 18, Shelvon and Ellin are early 20s, Chanlix and Alys are early 40s  — but there are no major characters who are old women or young girls. Both of those POVs would have been valuable in a story about women, and specifically a story that pivots around a major change in how the world sees women. It would have made sense to include old women who have lived their whole lives under horrific sexist conditions, and show them contributing meaningfully to the politics of the new world; and inclusion of young girls would have reinforced that the adult women are fighting for a better future, not just survival in the present.
I strongly suspect that the exclusion of younger and older female characters is because the author wants the book to be adapted into a TV show, and she was aware that Hollywood doesn't want child actresses or older actresses if they can be avoided. Making choices about how to write a novel based on a screen adaptation that may or may not happen is not a choice I can agree with.
-There were moments early on where the sex work industry was talked about as unequivocally coercive and I was like, I disagree with that stance for real life, but I'm willing to entertain it for this fictional universe where things really are worse for sex workers than irl. But then there was a conversation between Tynthanal and Chanlix where he says he has never employed an abigail because consent is important to him, and abigails can't truly consent because of the coercive nature of being paid for sex. Since that is a stance that applies to real life conditions as well, I feel free to criticize this political position along with all the others listed above.
-When it starts to sink in for the people of this world that women can no longer get pregnant against their will, one of the social changes is that women who are interested in sex can now have as much unprotected sex as they want; the narration says something like "with the same lack of consequences as men do".
At this point (listening to the audiobook while driving) I was smacking my steering wheel and shouting "STIs!" at the book. The author did not see fit to include any other risks associated with unprotected sex besides pregnancy, which is unrealistic to the point of infuriating. In regard to STIs, it should have said "with only the same risks as men have".
Even aside from STIs, there are other potential consequences for women who start to be more open about having sex in situations other than what has previously been socially acceptable. The author even acknowledges elsewhere in the book that women face societal consequences (slutshaming) for sex outside of marriage, but then doesn't carry that to a conclusion that the women characters still don't have total freedom to have sex just because they can't get pregnant.
-Later in the book, Jinnell is facing the prospect of having to marry the abuser to maintain the trade agreement, and tries to avoid that fate by finding a man to sleep with so that her potential husband will reject her as unchaste. She flirts heavily with a guardsman but can't get him to follow through on any action. Jinnell later is confronted by Delnamal, who says that the guardsman told his supervisor what Jinnell did, and Jinnell is threatened with severe punishment for her attempt to throw away her virginity. The narrative here clearly wants us to blame the guardsman, but here's the thing: he was genuinely uncomfortable with Jinnell's advances, and it doesn't read like he told on Jinnell to punish her, just to get reassigned away from anywhere he might have to encounter her again. That's right, folks: if you get harassed by someone in your workplace, you shouldn't tell your employer so the problem can be prevented from happening again, because the harasser might get in trouble for it!
Even with the focus on conception and pregnancy, there is no discussion of birth or obstetrics. Women in a setting with no modern medical science should have taken the pain and health risks of childbirth into account when thinking about pregnancy, but no births happen in the story and none of the POV characters (including the ones who are mothers) ever even think about childbirth.
-In an absolutely bizarre narrative choice, the book is very limited in its discussion of what sexism is. Issues that the book does not discuss even in passing include: childrearing or any other labor considered to be women’s work; breastfeeding or restrictions on its social acceptability; women being disenfranchised from education; women having difficulty being taken seriously by medical professionals, or a lack of concern in the medical field about women's health issues; the expectation that women should follow particular beauty standards even when it is expensive or uncomfortable to do so; the prevention of access or societal disapproval for women in sports, the arts, religion, or any other field; in short, all the issues of systemic sexism. Even though the author clearly mainly wanted to talk about reproductive injustice, I fully do not understand why anyone would write a book about women’s oppression and not talk about these issues.
-All the abigails are women. There is no mention of male sex workers, either for women clients or men clients. Gender essentialism and queer erasure again.
-The book start-to-finish has a huge problem with telling instead of showing. We're told that Jinnell likes "frivolous" typically-female things, but never see any evidence of that on-page. We're told that Alys and Chanlix are friends, but we don't see them having any interactions that support the idea that they are friends. We're told that Women's Well establishes itself as an autonomous town, but we don't see any of that process. I don't know if this is because of the writing style that is meant to be easily adapted into television, but even screen media needs to know how to show rather than tell.
It's not even that the author tried to keep the length of the book manageable by describing things briefly instead of depicting them in full, because this book is twenty audio hours or about 550 pages long.
The one and only thing I unequivocally liked:
-The characters' names all include the name of one of the magical elements, which was a cool worldbuilding detail.
---
Overall, I do not recommend this book.
If you want an epic fantasy with actually complex female characters, read "The Bone Shard Daughter" and "The Bone Shard Emperor" by Andrea Stewart instead. No queer main characters, but there is casual queerness in the world and it’s a no-sexism world as well. The female protagonist faces legitimately complicated leadership decisions including what to do about the female antagonist, who is also a complex character.
If you want a feminist fantasy and are okay with depictions of awful patriarchy and rape culture, read "Girls of Paper and Fire" by Natasha Ngan instead. There are queer main characters, as well as realistic conflicts between women who are all being oppressed by the patriarchy but react to it in different ways.
If you want a feminist fantasy with no rape, but still with a female protagonist who has to deal with sexism, and becomes a good leader through a series of leadership moments that actually happen on-screen, read “Lady Knight” by Tamora Pierce (but read the first three books in the series first).

chanlix incest
adapted from twitter
cw // incest, exhibitionism
i am not immune to the chanlix brotherfucker thoughts and goddamn thinking bout chan making lix call him big brother in bed has me REELING,,, they're in love and very dirty. imagining them trying to pretend like they don't fuck until the others say something about it drunkenly as a joke or something and lix just blurts out "yeah he fucks me better than anyone else I've had" and the room falls dead silent. jisung is the first one to say anything with a "shit that's hot". they end up making out and dry humping on the couch while the others watch, lix cumming with a muffled scream and chan reassuring him "just like that little bro, so good". after that they're a lot less careful about making sure no one hears them (or sees them) when they're at the dorms
