Yeah, how dare a woman let herself show visible signs of aging during a war, gross!

Ahhh I'm so bored! We're supposed to be gearing up to the climax, but the writing is so 'we did this, then we did this'. If I wasn't listening on audio I'd probably DNF!

Book logic:
All the people Ollie has willingly and sometimes gleefully killed do not count as murder.
The deaths she was NOT responsible for and were actually accidental are, in fact, murder.
North, who has both killed people on purpose and by accident, wouldn't understand.

These books definitely centre male attention as the only thing that makes women valuable, and every female side character is written with suspicion or derision unless they’re wholly devoted to Ollie. I'd like to say 'or related to a bond and therefore not a sexual threat to Ollie' but I can't.

Halfway through book 5 and we finally find out what the resistance wants, but not what they are 'resisting'.

Does J Bree just hate women, or...?
