Elves and Dwarves done like every other Elf and Dwarf. Especially when they go out of their way to give the Dwarf that overdone Irish/Scottish accent written out in damn near unreadable text.
Also when the worldbuilding and plot basically is "here's some not so thinly veiled racism between groups who will set that aside to fight a common enemy." Series ends on a high note, but you know this world will fall into disarray again cause people suck, so like, what was the point.
Elves and dwarves being monolithic cultures. I'd be fine the the standard stereotype if that was only one kind. There are so many kinds of humans, it's hard to believe that there is only one kind of dwarf. Make Irish vs Scottish dwarves or something, cmon. Make dwarves Mongolian, idk.
The Scottish accent is baffling. "Dwarves originate from Scandinavian mythology, so let's give them a Scottish accent!" Elves (the human-sized kind) originate from Scandinavian mythology as well, why not give them Scottish accents?
