i really like carol berg as a writer, i like that she writes in first person, that she has interesting plots, that her books aren't filled with violence and rape like so many
but she really does write awful women!
mostly her books have male leads, and i really enjoyed her demon series, loved song of the beast and the lighthouse duology.
now im trying to read her bridge of d'arnth (or whatever it's spelt) and i just don't connect with the heroine, seri
just as i didn't really connect with lara in song of the beast
is it just me? i find the women really emotinless and rather patronising and condescening. they don't have much sympathy for anyone, while the male characters seem to and seem much more human.
usually i do prefer male leads anyway, but there have been female leads that i have enjoyed, mainly the tamir triliogy and a few louise cooper books, but i don't seem to like any of berg's women.
i was just wondering if anyone else had this issue with berg's women?
