Bronze Drum

This book really interested me as a historical fiction based on women in a setting that hasn't been done to death but I just don't think the end product was very good. All of the characters were surface level and only had a couple of traits each, and the narrative didn't seem to respect most of the lower class characters very much. I would have liked to see more depth in the relationship between the sisters and their other family members, and a bit more pov for some of the other characters. The stuff with the general near the end was well executed though.
