I avoided reading it a long time because of the discussion about misogyny and white males winning. I don't like those kinds of books. Begone evil white male power historical fantasy books!
*Hisses*
This is not what I found here. Do I prefer a universe where characters are equally respected and have equal opportunities despite gender? Yes. Do I prefer a bevy of naked men and women on my bed right now ready for an old fashioned orgy right now?
...back to that visual later.
What I'm saying is that it's the characters most other authors are want to discount as lackeys and side characters that become main characters and their realistic, fatally-flawed, compassionate creation is what made this book excellent.
That and the amazing writing, stunning setting and the narration which, for an audiobook, is vital.
See, a book itself is a bit like a group of naked people on your bed ready for an orgy. Not everyone has to be super beautiful and attractive because, really, who's looking at faces?
I digress.
Actually, what was my point?
I don't know. Orgies are good and so is this book. Though so far no orgies. But this book is a lot like an orgy.
