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.

Yeah, you’re spot on. It’s not heavy handed, but the eye color caste/class stuff is not supposed to be seen as a positive for sure.
