Of course, the genre as a whole has more male readers. Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/01/2013 06:32:34 PM
While I agree with your points, I'd also add that it doesn't help when many epic fantasy fansites are male-dominated :P

But as you mentioned, Erikson's readership seems even more skewed than that of Jordan or (debatably) even Martin. Which does seem unfair as in some ways he writes better women than either of them.

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 467 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 1055 Views
Yes. Yes, it does. Legolas - 28/12/2012 10:41:17 PM 935 Views
I liked the first one... *Major Book 2 Spoilers* Wibble - 28/12/2012 10:51:09 PM 1002 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 941 Views
The complaints about Felisin have always had me shaking my head Larry - 29/12/2012 02:38:03 AM 993 Views
No, it's true, it makes sense enough. Legolas - 29/12/2012 08:34:24 AM 978 Views
Perhaps the biggest problem Wibble - 01/01/2013 12:20:18 AM 1013 Views
I think it's just indicative of general misogyny in the fantasy readerbase, myself. *spoilers* Ghavrel - 30/12/2012 09:51:08 AM 1006 Views
General misogyny? lol A Deathwatch Guard - 31/12/2012 05:50:15 AM 943 Views

Nope, no mystery at all Larry - 09/01/2013 06:12:17 PM 988 Views
