The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan

3.0

I was really enjoying this book until the last quarter when fridging happened. Absolutely hate the trope in books. It really brought to light the lack of diversity and misogyny in the culture depicted. I know most epic fantasy is pseudo medieval Europe but it's the 21st century. You're allowed to have female characters that aren't just the 'not like other girls trope. You can have queer characters and ones that aren't white as well.

I want to see where the story goes so I'll probably pick up the next book. I just hope it does a better job with its female characters.
