I'm all for ensembles, but damn it, you don't just drop your two major pov characters in the middle of their arc! *doesn't want to imagine haveing the last two books tortorously strung out over a year.*
I'm begining to agree with you about theory versus reality. So does Snow become whimpy? I ask because I haven't seen her doing really, anything at all. Plus, what is there for her to really sink her teeth into up at the farm?
Bigby would have been an awesome, stay-at-home dad, and I think he could handle the chaos of raising children, especially that many children, a little more naturally than Snow would/will/did.
Also, have you notice how with couples there's always this strong 'you're female and I'm male so I'm the one who's badass'? Like how Beauty and Beast stepped into the exact same roles that Snow and Bigby had, with the wood folk it was the chick who stayed at home (pregnant to boot) while her husband killed people, and I'm sure I could think of more examples if I tried.
