What did you think of the other elements outside of character/plot? I'm still uncertain whether I'll read this series. I read the first prequel and thought it was okay.

I found it to be a kinda social commentary on religion/statescraft, the power of mythology to create society but..meh, i've read better books on the same subject.
You're right, I shouldn't have read this book for favourable portrayals of females but any one of these dudes in the book could have been a woman instead, he's writing the future after all.
also, he references the 'Vandyke' style facial hair which I just found to be awkward.
