i think im just gonna give up on adult fantasy written by men
#said in the world-weary tone of like. an exhausted guy slumping into a barstool and asking for the strongest beer#has there ever been an adult fantasy novel written by a man that was... good?#oh im completely spitting on the face of tolkein arent i#maybe i'll try rereading lotr this year and see if he at least writes his two (2) women characters with any grace#the thing is i dont even really mind an occasional story devoid of femininity#im just so tired of stories devoid of femininity being hailed and praise for virtues that im.... not actually seeing in the work#meanwhile literally any woman writes a fantasy novel and it gets shelved as YA and criticized for being fluff and nonserious#anyway i skipped through the entire second half of Name of the Wind just to read the framing device scenes#given that i did read the entire first half i dont know that i want to shelve this as a DNF and miss getting 'credit' for it on goodreads?
