Realm of the Elderlings is my favorite series of all time and its written by a woman, but every other book series ive read that ive liked has been written by a man. Not sure how to describe how most books I tried written by woman in the past felt other than the audience not feeling like me. Realm of the elderlings I never had this issue, I enjoyed following the female protoganists and the fool even if I dont identify with how they feel, so I think its not necessarily the main character being a male for half the series being why I like it.
I just typically dont like men written by woman like woman rightfully dont like woman written by most male authors, since it tends to be done poorlly. Looking for series/authors that do a good job of representing both genders and writing for them, not misrepresenting either or acting like its the only thing that defines them and all their actions.
Have you tried Ursula Le Guin? Her Earthsea stuff really grabbed me when I was younger.
Oh I definitely rememebr reading it, was it the word magic stuff
I apparently have the first ebook, must've gotten distracted by some other series and forgotten it
A Wizard of Earthsea is probably my favorite fantasy book. Around the fourth book it starts to get a bit woman targeted, I feel, but it's still a great series.
