Broken empire katherine of miana series#

Red Sister is the third series to come out by Mark Lawrence, who holds the position as the third most famous grimdark author alive after George R.R. The Doctor and Zagreus, Zagreus audio drama 'Fool, that’s not friendship, that’s love.' 'Friendship is, well, it’s caring for somebody more than you do yourself.' THE UNITED FEDERATION OF CHARLES' REVIEW: Her real strength is as a commander and ruler. Monza's fighting skills are considerable, but they aren't extraordinary. I'll never understand how there is a specific subset of SFF fans that are okay with gods, aliens, demons, and magic, not to mention male fantasy heroes performing acts that are physically impossible, but throw a hissy fit every time a woman picks up a sword. The one straight up duel that we see her fight, she loses until Cosco comes in and helps her, IIRC.

She was more of a tactician and a leader than a fighter. Monza's martial abilities weren't even that exaggerated.

Is Monza being a renowned killer any more unrealistic than half the shit that Logen does? The Feared broke people's shields by punching them, and we're supposed to believe Logen kills that thing just by flying into a berserker frenzy? Bull-shit. Reading the rest of your post, I assume you're talking about Monza, and the question I'll put back to you is, why not? Does the fencing style of swordsmanship that the Union employs require some mass of upper body strength that I'm not aware of? Because the reaction to Gorst's style in the original trilogy seems to me to indicate that this style of dueling is traditionally more about speed and dexterity than raw physical power. Ditto literally everything about William's character. Ditto half the shit that Jorg does, now that I think of it. Yeah, because Jorg massacring an entire band of outlaws by himself, as a teenager, was soooo realistic.
