This book is so gross, completely lacking in substance, and utilizes time travel in the laziest way (not to mention it introduces a few glaring plot holes). I can't get on board with the outrageous level of accepted misogyny, manipulation, controlling behavior, and rape that happens. The author attempts to set Lessa apart and show that she's “not like other girls” by showing that every other woman in the world is ugly, smelly, stupid, incompetent, etc. in some way. It's lazy and horrible. Other than that, the world building really isn't there, and most of the book is sitting in meetings or in a cavern talking about what's going to happen without anything happening.
