Fire

There were two main things that I didn???t like about the book, almost everyone was a bastard (some a result of rape and others of consensual sex). And that all female characters that had a more prominent role (not counting child and older women) got pregnant or took permanent measures to avoid one, while all the others, even the ones in fire guards, were just named or had a line or two in the whole book.
I don???t know if this was intentional or not, but this book showed in the characters that got pregnant a reflex of how many women get pregnant today. One of the characters doesn???t like taking the preventive herbs and believes that this is something that will not happen to her, while the other doesn???t have access to the herbs and is ashamed to ask for help.
