Sounds like the complaint from one of my grand-nieces: "Where have all the boys gone?" Most of the new YA fantasy she loves reading features female main characters with males as relatively minor characters. Admittedly, she also talked her parents into paying to stream the SuperM Beyond the Future concert so she may not have an unbiased viewpoint on gender balance.

If it does well? There will be more. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

I mostly read fantasy and have noticed that a significant majority of the books have female main characters. Even though a significant majorty of the books are written by women, the author's gender doesn't seem to matter; the men also more often have a female main character. What bothers me is when they have women in unrealistic roles; twice now I've seen women blacksmiths.

Good thing we have fantasy fiction, to transport us to magical worlds where women can be blacksmiths.

But that's not unrealistic. Women have been blacksmiths for centuries, with the earliest documentation of it dating back 800 years.

The muscles needed for blacksmithing develop with use, men don't start out being able to do it perfectly either. It's also possible to use a smaller hammer but do more blows if the blacksmith doesn't have the muscle mass yet for larger hammers.

Oh, I have no idea about the lesbian space vampire genre, or if such a thing even exists. I was just being silly.

...what bothered me was when the half-orc mage had to replace his battle unicorn's mithril shoes with adamantium ones, the blacksmith... was female! Come on! That totally broke my sense of immersion.

You are complaining about fantasy being unrealistic?

(And cite as an example that has been documented for centuries.)

Some of us know that goblins, elves, magic, etc. are real.

They call it "fantasy", to keep us in the dark! What do you think Area 51 is all about? What powers the UFOs?

We are all fat, dumb, and happy to have all the BS spoon-fed to us!

The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington is $2.99 at Amazon US.

I really enjoyed this trilogy and recommend it.
