Review title: WHERE HAVE ALL THE WOMEN GONE?
Product review: One of the more interesting things in the original book of the series, 1632, was the strength and intelligence shown by the female characters. Women often have little more than supporting roles in Fantasy Fiction unless, of course, the author is female. (Lackey, McCaffrey and Norton, et al.) Unfortunately, that trend did not hold true for this book and, to a lesser degree, the second in the series, 1633.The other thing that distinguishes this book from its parent is the sheer volume of details, subplots and historical lessons sandwiched into the plot. If you were attracted to the series because of its subject and balanced characterizations you would do well to stop after the first novel. If you are interested in the minutiae of historical interpretation without the taint of scholasticism, read on!
