Author writes female characters about as well as any other fantasy author of the era. Poorly and constantly in a sexual context (or existing only as a romantic or family counterpart to a man). I'd like to finish the trilogy out, however I won't return to the Riftwar saga in a major way.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Murder and War
Moderate: Confinement and Torture
Minor: Sexual violence, Slavery, and Trafficking
No on-page sexual violence, but referred to as a danger in the world and in the past of some characters.
