If it’s one thing Felicity Brandon can do, it is that she can rouse my emotions, oftentimes to a fever pitch. And these emotions run the entire gambit. I tend to put myself in the place of her main female characters, although in some cases we are not of the same mind, at all. While I can often find male dominance in certain scenarios alluring, that dominance needs to be tempered with respect. But respect for women is not a part of this dystopian world that this author has created.
You see, the males in this tale have convinced themselves that women are to blame for most of the negative aspects in their lives. Yes, apparently the art of honest self reflection isn’t a part of their world. As a result, female rights are destroyed and women are placed in camps to be “properly trained,” or more accurately stated constantly punished for being who and what they are. It’s a difficult and dark read at times.
As I said, I often put myself in the place of these female characters and I know I’d be plotting my revenge, slowly, surely, with patience, intellect and intent, no matter how long it took.
In this case, the main female in this story and I are somewhat alike. She’s appearing to acquiesce, but she’s not a doormat. She’s biding her time, waiting for something to come along that she can grab a hold of and find her way to freedom again. She wants to survive.
Would men actually act this way given the chance? Well, for millennia women were without many rights and subject to the will of men, so I guess that, yes, some would. Careful gentlemen, women can be quite dangerous if pushed far enough. And in this story, my oh my but they are pushing.
The book doesn’t simply end; there is more to come, and I’m very curious to see how this plays out. So despite how uncomfortable this book made me at times, I just have to see where this goes. I love Felicity Brandon books because she takes me to places I haven’t been. She makes me angry, sad, happy, satisfied and even stimulated in wonderfully erotic ways. I love her darkness and if entering the shadows appeals to you, read this book.
