aseMy Deep and Meaningful post was derailed by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
norabombay and I trying to write science fiction epics on the phone again, so I will instead offer this thought: my second, scattershot dip into The Sharing Knife: Legacy is not reconciling me to the romance or Fawn; it's making me gesture emphatically at The Steerswoman's Road instead. I am not supposed to be annoyed at plucky Fawn, but oh, I really, really wish her selfish recklessness were not presented as courage.

I am not going to guarantee that everyone will like the Steerswoman series as much as me, because it's pretty much a descriptive checklist of what I want in my sf/f reading, but I think it's interesting enough that other people will enjoy it too.
