WOW I loved this so much! I read it all in one day, I couldn't stop! I think the male characters were actually VERY sympathetically written, considering the entire concept of the book is that women have been constitutionally lesser citizens for two centuries. Of course men would naturally think less of them in that situation, it's the entire point. That's the dystopia. I loved how Nazareth wasn't that 'likeable' of a character -- she had had awful things done to her, and she had good intent, but she wasn't the sort of super kind/giving/loving/selfless heroine that would be too easy to write here. I am going to start the second and third ones as soon as I can get my hands on them!
