Just a warning, some of you won't agree with my assessment that this is an agenda driven point by the author. Also, some of you might agree with the author. However, even if you agree with her, that doesn't stop this from being a soap-box delivery that annoys the crap out of me.

Anyway, onwards.

So, I'm reading the first of Sharon Green's ( Read more... )

Yar, I've had that happen with a few books before. I think that is why I couldn't get through the Kushiel's Dart series of books. I never finished the first, actually. Problem is, I often read at work break - and reading porn at work kind bothered me :(

My issue with some fantasy, is stupid female characters. I have put down more novels because the main female did something retarded than for any other reason - a great deal of them were Forgotten Realms stories now that I think about it. "Hi! I've known you less than ten minutes! Lets BANG!" Seriously, I don't think after almost dying to a dragon, having some weird spellfire shoot out of my hands - I would find the dorkiest guy in the room, bang him in some gold and then say "Oh, what is your name?" *sigh*

Those books insult my intelligence, damnit :P

Oh, you'd hate this book, then. It's beyond stereotypical with it's females. All the main characters are busty, amazingly beautiful and naturally talented high mages. If they didn't have massive mental problems, which are stereotypical and tropy, then they'd be Mary Sues.
