We arrive at the trilogy The Journey of the Jerle Shannara . The first book, The Witch of Ilse , is precisely centered on this female figure (Rue Meridian will also play a good part in the story). The subsequent ones are male novels. The last trilogy I read, The Supreme Druid of Shannara , had a certain balance between male and female characters. While the Word trilogy – which I found boring and above all each novel identical to the next – has a woman as its protagonist. The Landover series - only the first of the 5 novels is valid, in my opinion - balances man and woman, but not too much.
Even this author, who writes and draws in an impressive way, tends to create "macho" works. Apart from a croccamaura, Lara, in Rumo and the Wonders in the Dark , and Krete in Ensel and Krete , a Phone Number Data parody of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, we do not find any female characters. George Martin's Unforgettable Women The Song of Ice and Fire , despite being an almost classic fantasy - you will not find the usual elves and trolls, nor the wizards with invincible powers, nor the endless journeys from South to North of the hero in spite of himself - reflects the way of life of the Middle Ages. I have always seen this saga as a journey through time, the dark time of the Dark Ages.
There is a lot of our Middle Ages, even if typical elements of the Fantastic, although introduced in the most credible way possible, are well present. I loved the character of Arya, the little girl who held the sword Needle. I can't stand her sister Sansa - a name that in Italian indicates the waste from olive pressing - because she is the typical weak princess who dreams of Prince Charming, even if she later almost redeemed herself in my eyes. I hated Queen Cersei, a strong and decisive character. And I sided with Daenerys, the dragon queen. I sympathized with Catelyn Stark, to the end and… beyond . All this to say that, yes, there are few women in Martin's saga, but those present are figures that are not forgotten.
