Ok.  First I am a fan of the series.  Love it. But man am I sick of Galia and the Amazons.  Putting aside the whole issue of these woman warriors and the idea that they are equal to or better soldiers than the best male warriors of the time, you are still left with a Queen Galia (and her crew) who is prickly, aggressive and snide.  Who belittles and derides her King and husband in front of all comers.  I could swallow the PC girls can do anything including fight as well as men for well, PC sake but why do these strong female characters have to be simply horrible to be around.  And being totally fair about it I would not want male companions who carried on like this either.  Strong does not mean nasty and childishly pigheaded.  Otherwise I love the series.  (And yeah girls can fight as well as men if they undergo testosterone injections to increase their muscle mass and train for years to gain the skill and muscle potential.  Although that would still leave them on average about 75% as big as men on average and it counts in hand to hand combat you bet'cha.  Please authors have strong female characters who are not schitzo.  Oh yeah my actual reason for mentioning "And Galia and the Amazons in the title was the authors penchant for adding it to every few paragraphs.  He didn't seem to have a reason for it just added a few times a page to make sure they got air time.  I got sick of reading it.  We get it they were there too.  Actually I was trying to forget because the concept is a bit silly and it kept jerking me away from the story.
