This Red Sonja novel I read does a pretty good job of having a likable chick protag who isn't a sex object or a man with tits. And even though she has the typical RAAAAAAAAPE backstory she isn't a man-hater; she even falls in love with a man in this book.

I just read pic related and enjoyed the characterization of Red Sonja. She's not a man-hating femibeast and not a Mary Sue that can wipe out entire armies with her YAS KWEEN SLAY. She's actually likable and isn't written as a man with tits.

Just over halfway finished with this and I'm surprised at how good it's been so far. Nothing really original or that would ever win any awards, but some very solid S&S that I would recommend to even those virgin geeks who don't read S&S. Also I think modern media has poisoned me so badly that when I read these older novels with female protags I expect them to have some degree of man-hating feminist bullshit despite the writers being men and they just aren't. I'm sure the Red Sonja film being made will be nothing but man-hate, but there's none of that crap here (so far anyways).
