Looks kino fam might have to pick that up anyway regardless of the book club

I couldn't find many women sneed about it online, even redditors seem to like it. The only promising passage that I found is this one:

>There are some notable issues, though: [...] some characters seem to be sexist and homophobic for no real reason. (In a fantasy setting where females are equally good at magic, it makes no sense that 1950s era ideas about females would be in _any_ character, and what is the point in making any characters anti-gay when this is a brand-new world that doesn't require that kind of prejudice? (If prejudice is desired, make a new prejudice! It's fantasy, after all, and the anti-gay sentiment was never a story beat.) (Thankfully these anti-gay/anti-female sentiments only occur four times in the story and could easily be removed.))

While it looks good on the surface, it's possible that the book only includes bigots as social commentary and to be able to say "x-ism bad, mkay?".

I'll confess I got halfway through this before I put it down because it was goddarn depressing. It's really good though. Been meaning to pick it up again now I'm in a better mood.
