I will always fall helplessly for Woman Knights/Dames/Woman Warriors, ESPECIALLY when they are allowed to wield their swords for their own reasonings, and it’s not just decor or aesthetic.
When she challenged that lady to a duel for insulting her homeland, I got chills. She endured insults and internal shame, yet could not endure a moment of dishonor. How lovely.
My least favorite parts of these stories are always the Husbands, because without a doubt they will diminish the brilliance of the Woman Warriors, reducing them to mere wives.
But truly, this story is refreshing. She is strong, yet human—skilled yet clumsy—powerful yet ignorant—Kind yet sharp. I enjoy her immensely.
She reminds me of Charlize Ronan ( if she wasn’t traumatized ) who also happens to be my favorite FL of all time. So I’m a BIG FAN.
Also—despite my earlier comments about disliking husbands in stories where the FL is a strong warrior, I do like her husband. Mostly cause he cares of her, and I personally like the possessive types. Though he sucks without the rose tinted perspective to be fair. I was livid when he failed to give her a proper wedding or explanation. It just have hurt to be objectified and used like that.
