The thing about the Song family is that it seems like it's a lineage of ONLY these "Asian-looking" elves, whatever ethnicity they're supposed to be. Like, they make it seem like the entire family is just Asian... but it's not like there are tons of Asian elves out there. Shouldn't there be a wide variety of different ethnicities in their family? Surely some of the Songs have marries other races, but then why did Quan and Mai marry? Did they just happen to find eachother, somehow? It makes no sense to me.

They say that mixed-race couples are favored by matchmakers, but I've yet to see an actual mixed-race couple in the series from my memory. Other than maybe Prentice and Cyrah? Sure, Lylie and Tiana are mixed-race SHIPS, but they aren't canon yet. Yeah, this book does a lot of telling and not showing. Shannon SAYS that they try to match elves of different ethnicities but fails to actually include many in the series.
