and I say all this and then go back and read your comment and see that Moon's books are...military sci-fi. Ah-hahahahahahaha. I MIGHT LIKE IT, IF IT WAS WELL-WRITTEN.

and obviously my conversation on another one of the posts about how I didn't get into the Shanara books due to lack of women probably influences why people would want to recommend strong female characters as examples of reasons why girls would like science fiction, but still. I just. WHAT AN INTERESTING REACTION.
