Spoilers for both Novik's Temeraire series and Kowal's Glamourist series.
We start from the point of view of a white English person.
We learn The Way Things Are regarding the fantastical element.
And a few books later, on a trip to a majority non-white area far from England, the POV character and by extension the readers learn: no! That received wisdom was wrong and there is another way things could be! Rugpull!
