The way to write a historical fiction book I believe is to neither diminish the people of the times the book is set in, nor uphold them as a end all be all standard.

Frustatingly, just 4 chapters in, what happens in the book is the former. The half of the so called “girl group” are held in an image of cowardish women because the two rather stay away from war and because one has a very attractive body. And apparently any men this girl attracts is super dumb cause of course she's the slutty dumbfuck of the group.

Which makes it seem like everyone the character doesn't like is just dumb anyways. Not that there's reasons for their own beliefs or anything.
