What I didn't like in the title is the erasure of the women's name in profit if her relation to a (presumed) male: she's not Amanda, she's just the alchemist's daughter. It's a trend in naming books too. But now I see this whole thing is actually the subject matter of the book, so it makes sense to use this trend.

Ah, interesting callout; I can totally understand why that is a turn-off. My sister recommended the book to me so I didn’t give the title any thought.

The story is definitely about that trope, and mostly turning it on its head. It’s about the women, with the underlying theme that they are what they are because of men but they own who they are and their future.

I hope if you give it a shot that you enjoy it as much as I do!
