Only on the second episode right now
I like it overall, but I just can't get past that elf having a Scottish/Irish (whatever) accent
It's so fucking annoying and goes against every other fantasy world. Dwarves are supposed to have those accents, not elves. What's really worse though is that she's the only one that has it.
I cringe every time she shows up on screen

But she shouldn't have the accent in the first place
It doesn't fit
/e Especially since she's the only elf with an accent

Her parents were protectors of the dragons, makes sense that she would grow up with them and not speak like her people.

How does it make sense that she would talk like a dwarf from growing up around dragons?

She isn't talking like a dwarf? I don't think dwarves even exist in this universe?

She is using a scottish accent.. A lot of people don't like it but because it is not consistant. Others say she did it really well. As long as it is consistant then it should be fine which the accent seems to be more consistant as each episode goes by.
