The author says his work is often compared to The Dresden Files and, yeah, I get the connection. But also it reminds me of classic Asimov. And by that I mean: Where are the women? The Bechdel test? Nope, never heard of it.
In chapter 3, a nameless woman walks on-stage, speaks her two sentences. Exit (not pursued by anyone). In chapter 12, a woman walks on stage, gets a name, and has a brief conversation with our hero and his nemesis … and then gets knocked out cold. Exit. In chapter 13, we meet our story's final Woman With A Speaking Role, Penny. Penny is actually the second most well-developed character of the story …
After that, we get a few female extras. But apparently the author couldn't afford to pay them union rates or something. Because not a peep is uttered by any of them.
Don't get me wrong: the story is good. The writing is compelling.. The world-building is interesting. The editing is well-executed. But it's still missing something.
