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.

They're among the best fantasy series out there, yes. Legolas - 25/12/2012 07:02:39 PM 906 Views
What makes it so good, your opinion? Also, does it have a satisfying conclusion? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 26/12/2012 10:50:53 PM 352 Views

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 428 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 947 Views
Yes. Yes, it does. Legolas - 28/12/2012 10:41:17 PM 826 Views
I liked the first one... *Major Book 2 Spoilers* Wibble - 28/12/2012 10:51:09 PM 887 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 844 Views
The complaints about Felisin have always had me shaking my head Larry - 29/12/2012 02:38:03 AM 882 Views
No, it's true, it makes sense enough. Legolas - 29/12/2012 08:34:24 AM 881 Views
Perhaps the biggest problem Wibble - 01/01/2013 12:20:18 AM 891 Views
I think it's just indicative of general misogyny in the fantasy readerbase, myself. *spoilers* Ghavrel - 30/12/2012 09:51:08 AM 890 Views
General misogyny? lol A Deathwatch Guard - 31/12/2012 05:50:15 AM 830 Views

Not much mystery to that, is there? Legolas - 09/01/2013 05:52:09 PM 873 Views
Nope, no mystery at all Larry - 09/01/2013 06:12:17 PM 882 Views
