  If it were a glorification of that concept, then sure, but it’s not. Most of the time spent on that particular bit of world building it to point out what a stupid system it is.

    Interesting, the series sounds like it’s really worth checking out.

      It’s very good if you’re into high fantasy. It’s a time investment, though. 6500 pages and counting.

        It’s worth the investment, though. So are his other series.

  I’ve read the series, and it’s not. The characters struggle with the (often nonsensical) established caste system and their role in it, and it’s intended as a mirror to real world caste systems and racial divisions rather than as a celebration of them.
