A review by amber_lfor
The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
I wanted to like this book. I read the series when I was younger, and put up with a lot, the second reading I just couldn't do! The women lack personality, and are mainly seen as beautiful and meek, or defiant and ugly in some way. I'm about 100 pages in and 3 women have been raped. All I want is a good historical book that does women justice!
Graphic: Rape, Sexism, and War
I would only bother if you have a strong stomach and can bare outdated writing about women.
