Finished last week. I think they're good books, but I still don't like the Gernians.
Women barter material in RotE? I can't think of anything that compares to Yaril's or Epiny's treatment (that someone else decides for their future, merely based on the fact they're women). Men are of course treated in the same way (as a second son, you have no choice but to become a soldier's son), but for some reason that doesn't bother me as much. At the end of the books there's a change visible though.
I guess it's just my natural reaction to overzealous people.
