You can tell what an author values based on what they have the good/likeable characters believe and do. SWM made her ideals into the elves and their world, but her ideals aren't perfect, they have flawed beliefs.

I agree with you, it bothers me that the elves pretend they're almighty, infallible and faultless. because they aren't, they're simply what SWM believes to be perfect. I'm not saying that SWM never has them make mistakes, but when they do, they're humble, they're right and it all turns out well for them in the end. These are not good morals and ideas to be promoting to kids. We're not perfect, things aren't always okay, we are not all amazing and talented, so don't put those lies into kid's heads.

I think Della is a perfect example of the elves messed up ideas, the ideas that SWM believes are right.

You did a wonderful job summing up the last part, and I totally agree, why do the elves think they're better then all the other species? The qoute "who died and left you in charge?" perfectly sums up their high and mighty attitude towards everything, but I truly believe that's what SWM wishes she was.

I will say though, the elves are realizing it isn't the humans fault (in Nightfall) and maybe that will change in the next book. :)

Idk, if this makes any sense at all, it's a bunch of random thoughts :)
