I'm about a third of the way through and there's not a single complex female character. There are too many books to read for me to waste my time on this one. I've read a recent interview by Abercrombie in which he addresses the poor writing of his female characters in his earlier books. From the interview, it seems he has course-corrected. I may pick up a few of his more recent works to see if I find them any more interesting.
