review 1: Yes, this book is a page turner. Yes, it has many women characters. "Character-driven" - well, perhaps, though not necessarily characters you would like to meet nor characters that are described in all that much depth. But mostly it is a quite brutal adventure story (it is the adventure that makes it a "page turner"). All in all, I understand why so many people like it but I won't be reading more in the series.... probably! :)
review 2: Yeah. Not even finished yet (almost done, I think? Hopefully?) and had to write to say, don't bother. This book really stinks. The story was pretty interesting to start, with a cool world and interesting characters, but it really peters out. Characters are frustratingly one-dimensional. I was rooting for them all at the beginnin... moreg, but then realized they don't seem to be learning from their circumstances. I'm finally at the point where I honestly don't care what happens to any of the characters. THEY ALL DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THEM, I SAY! A million opportunities to dig themselves out of their messes, but nope. Brutal violence for the sake of it (writer: "bad guys are Really Bad, see, look, I'll show you"). Kindle lending-library freebie. Writing gets progressively worse - never seen so many grown men blushing and flushing, or women whimpering (man, am I tired of reading that word).. the writing's a mess, and the story can't save it. Ye be warned. less
