I think it's just indicative of general misogyny in the fantasy readerbase, myself. *spoilers* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 30/12/2012 09:51:08 AM
That said, people are quick to judge Frodo as "whiny" as well (mostly from the movies, though I know a few who disliked him in the book), so maybe the typical fantasy readerbase just lacks empathy?


Also, Felisin was one of my favorite characters, and I found her death one of the most, if not the most, tragic events in the series. I wouldn't want her as a housemate, but I pitied her and mourned her life.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I'm thinking of starting Malazan after AMOL as well. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/12/2012 03:39:34 PM 403 Views
I liked the first one; the second one, not so much. I haven't read beyond that. Stephen - 28/12/2012 07:24:35 PM 876 Views
Yes. Yes, it does. Legolas - 28/12/2012 10:41:17 PM 771 Views
I liked the first one... *Major Book 2 Spoilers* Wibble - 28/12/2012 10:51:09 PM 828 Views
Felisin always kinda sucked, but the second point was one of the best parts! A Deathwatch Guard - 29/12/2012 02:29:08 AM 787 Views
The complaints about Felisin have always had me shaking my head Larry - 29/12/2012 02:38:03 AM 825 Views
No, it's true, it makes sense enough. Legolas - 29/12/2012 08:34:24 AM 831 Views
Perhaps the biggest problem Wibble - 01/01/2013 12:20:18 AM 819 Views

Not much mystery to that, is there? Legolas - 09/01/2013 05:52:09 PM 805 Views
Nope, no mystery at all Larry - 09/01/2013 06:12:17 PM 818 Views
Of course, the genre as a whole has more male readers. Legolas - 09/01/2013 06:32:34 PM 757 Views
