** Written in the early 2000s, the original book's treatment of child marriage (potentially including girls as young as 13) as unobjectionable would likely face harsher scrutiny had it been published a couple of decades later. The princess candidates are more concerned with marriage taking them away from their homeland than with the possibility that they are too young for marriage, and Olana's use of CorporalPunishment is treated as worse than the fact that she's grooming children for marriage.
