Well, true. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 09/06/2010 09:40:55 AM
At least they aren't the usual stereotypes for the usual reasons, if that makes sense. While they are all men, they are also all pacifists. And the meddling women - well, no excuses there, actually. See Aes Sedai, Sisters of Light, etc etc.


Although that's just because when they were ... warlike they ruined an entire world. So I suppose there she has removed one stereotype and allowed men to learn something. :P

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. jh - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 609 Views
Fair enough. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:48:53 PM 656 Views

That's interesting. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:27:40 PM 644 Views
Probably something like that. jh - 25/04/2010 08:38:42 PM 609 Views
That seems unlikely, she is American after all... Legolas - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 566 Views
It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country. *NM* Rebekah - 25/04/2010 09:12:36 PM 250 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. jh - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 571 Views
