I ultimately found the ending unsatisfying as it leans so far away from the analogy. While it provides hope, I was hoping for something that would reflect actionable change in our real world rather than

deus ex machina via a super powerful rightful queen who can banish the evil bigots and create a sanctuary nation

. I wanted something that could mirror steps we have in our world to deal with bigots. It ultimately felt like the story couldn’t decide whether to be serious analogy for real world issues or escapist fantasy. Both of which I would be down for but the blending of which didn’t feel satisfying in the end.
