#fitzloved is my favourite ship and yet some people make me ashamed to belong in that group because others will automatically assume I hate

So, I started reading Soldier Son for the 4th time. I hope I can make it until the end now.

I can’t help compare Sil to Molly when one of her distinctive features is wearing bright skirts. Plus, she is clearly the love interest that is older than the mc and they met as kids and had a friendly interaction.

So far, this book focuses a lot on gender norms and I keep wondering if part of it is a defense of Molly since so many fans seem to unfairly hate her. Nevare’s father was just saying it was Sil’s fault that she was almost raped because she wore bright skirts and showed her bare arms and that is not too far of fans that put the blame on Molly for stuff not under her control.

#soldier son trilogy #rote #robin hobb #shaman's crossing #honestly even hobb's rant back in the day about the ending of fool's fate might have come because so many people hated molly #she might have resented fitzloved fans because of it and I can't really blame her #fitzloved is my favourite ship and yet some people make me ashamed to belong in that group because others will automatically assume I hate #molly when I don't not even a little bit #and blaming molly for ship reasons is just ridiculous I'm sorry #anyway I am really liking the gender stuff going on in this series but it's missing some nuance #we need some trans and nb characters in here hobb
