I like to read feminist literature. Silence of the Girls, that kind of thing. I usually find my next book through 'Customers who like x like y algorithms'. Generally it works, I've read some less historically accurate novels and some less of a feminist stance, but usually where it lacks in one it makes up in another.
So that's how I arrived at Sistersong. Early characterisation seemed to be a bit two dimensional, slut, virgin, tomboy. Fine. Characters grow etc.
I've two hours reading yet and the ideology has gone from subtle to sledgehammer. I've somehow been tricked into reading a book that presents non binary as the obvious choice for progressive ancient Britons. Meanwhile, the two female characters are trundling along with very little character growth and in one case, very dislikeable and the other, character growth going backwards.
Anyway, just had to vent because of course now I have to finish the bloody thing and can't even leave an honest review.
