Books like Rice Boy

After years of reading and study I have a deal with myself: I no longer read books that directly or indirectly tell me (or anyone else) that I'm (or they're) a second-class citizen. Time's up.In picking this book up I was intrigued by the promise of weird and surreal creatures in context of an adventure quest. Creatures there were indeed, but there's nothing weird or surreal about patriarchal adventure fantasy. That's the unjust and mundane norm, past and present, and reflects reality without comment, and so I had to put this book down at page 286 to go in search of a book that doesn't treat people -- or creatures -- who happen to be women as a side dish, when it bothers to mention them at all.
