Martha Wells is great. I really like her series about the Fall of Ile-Rien, but the standalone Death of the Necromancer is best.
On the topic of misogyny, this is one of the problems I had with Melanie Rawn's Glass Thorns series. It was all about some boys and their penises. I really expected better, and I read all five books hoping it would get better... and it didn't.
Now I'm reading Patrick Rothfuss' second novel in his unfinished Kingmaker (?) trilogy, and there's so much ego and penis in this that I feel like I just want to throw the book back into the library and try again with another series.
