Hello peoples!
More specifically, hello women, as this is directed at you.
Sorry if you saw this in the specific Stormlight Archive sub already.
A lot of male authors get backlash from the way they write female characters (I.e, they get it wrong a bunch) - having read the entirety of the Stormlight Archive and Mistborn era 1 and enjoyed a lot of the female characters’ POV chapters (particularly Jasnah and Vin, both badass and complex in their own ways.) I was curious as to the womanly perspective of how Sanderson writes the women of Stormlight Archive.
None of my female friends have read Cosmere stuff, otherwise I’d ask them. I’m writing a book, and a large amount of chapters will be from a woman’s POV, and I’m a dude so I don’t want to fall into the same pitfalls as other authors.
Btw I marked mixed spoilers - just in case people want to talk about specifics in the comments.
If this is the wrong kind of post for this sub, sorry.
