I'm always extremely leery of books authored by men that star female characters...

He's pretty light on the whole "male gaze" thing, though he definitely talks more about his beautiful women than his handsome men. Apart from occasional overemphasis on periods, he's basically okay.

To me, the books run into some issues with female characters - not unusual ones, just the regular crap you get with high fantasy. The main female character is physically aged up so her romance with a grown man centuries old when she's chronologically fourteen won't seem as creepy (it still is, though he heroically resists the relationship for the requisite five minutes). The only female villain is motivated by being scorned by a man (ironically the same man the main female character starts banging), and her evil superpower is, of course, being mommy to grotesqueries. There's only three women in the main party, and they never talk to each other. Stuff like that. I still recommend the books, but wouldn't say to expect anything but the typical when it comes to chicks.
