For a male power fantasy, it's not a bad book. The lore is fairly interesting. I enjoyed the retelling of fairytales. I am sure I"ll continue reading the saga at some point.

But GOD, the absolute lack of sexual morals and the full objectification of women. WOW. Not only does this take place in a fantasy medieval period, it feels as though it was written in this period too. I'm going to need at least half a year to recover from all the misogyny.
