Predictions (MAJOR progressive spoilers on all books)

[Farseer]

I don't know how many times I've meant to come back here to respond but I get lazy with spoiler tags these days. Very slack of me...

I agree, Nuytsia (hello! ). I think that there are a number of instances in the RotE where "someone else decides for their future, merely based on the fact they're women". The one that jumps out at me immediately is ** Liveshp Traders spoiler as this is a Gernia thread **

Spoiler

Althea. She certainly had her future decided for her and even had to create a male identity for herself to make it, particularly safely, in the world of men. She was raised as a substitute son but then had everything she ever wanted stripped from beneath her at the final hour, simply because her mother felt she should finally stay at home and do what women do. What is saddest here is that it was a woman who did this to her , and not a man. Of course, Kyle etc went on to compound and worsen the situation. Ronica knew that once she was captain of the Vivacia, Althea would never adhere to such social restrictions.

Oh, I must strongly agree!
