I was pretty excited to see that Moore’s City of Wonders – the third book in his Seven Forges series – had come out. I even paid full price for the ebook, which I almost never do.

So I am disappointed to acknowledge that I was… disappointed. It was just lacking in something. Direction perhaps. Or purpose. Or discipline.

But it did add its first female main character. There have been important female characters, several, in fact, but here he added what seems to be a truly major perspective character who is also a woman (and set up to be a bigger influence in the next volume). So score one for a bit o’ feminism.
