Re: Some of my thoughts...

[(Anonymous)]

Anon who was talking about the Navy upthread agrees about the difficulty of getting female characters into this kind of story. I think Novik did a good job with it - in fact, trying to remember the later books, I'm not sure if any other countries had female captains? Short of a twist like that, it really is hard putting women into such stories. I'm writing Age of Sail at the moment, and am refusing to write a cheesy shipboard romance, which leaves me not a great deal to work with!

I definitely agree that she did a good job! And I read some of the trivia at the end that indicated that Longwings are a British breed so we don't have any particular reason to believe other countries have female captains. I'd honestly love to see some other countries' captains' reactions to learning about Harcourt and Jane though!

Don't spoil me for the later books! I'm definitely planning on reading them! Read the first chapter preview for Throne of Jade at the end of the edition of HMD that I got and am definitely looking forward to it. I predicted even before I started reading that the second book would take place at least partially in China based on the title and cover art, which is super exciting because we don't see as much of them in this historical period in literature as we do Europe and I think Chinese history is really interesting too. After reading that chapter, yeah, there's no way that's not happening! I'm looking forward to it for sure.
