Here's a book I loved as a teen that I really choked on this time through. What was I thinking? Misogynist crap, this. Stock characters, standard romance plot plus dragons. To make it even worse, the narrator was lame. I suppose I just need a big rugged man to grab me by the shoulders and shake some...

Lessa is definitely not lessor than others. This was an amazing book of survival. This book was great for me to teach how to overcome adversity. Just because a person is dealt a bad hand doesn't mean that they should just curl up and be a victim. I respected Lessa and her desire for revenge. i ...
