The women characters in your books are really interesting, not at all the cardboard cutouts that appear so often in fantasy. Did you do that consciously?
In part. In this world, given the history that divides this world, women had to have real political power. But on the other hand, I simply consider women to be more interesting if there’s more about them to be interesting. A real live Barbie might be a lot of fun for a weekend if you’re 22, but after that there’s not much to it. Empty calories.
They are complex women, strong women, the sort of women I’ve always found interesting. As my grandfather said, “Boy, would you rather hunt rabbits or leopards?” No choice there.
