The idea of an oppressed segment of society overthrowing the people in power is a time-honored theme in science fiction, as it the inevitability that those people won’t be any better than the previous group.
Womankind is about such a society where women have culled the male population to take ultimate power. The men left on earth are corralled in prison camps.
I liked the variety of themes and moral lessons presented here. Heterosexual relationships are oppressed and homosexual relationships are the norm, whether that lifestyle fits the person or not. This juxtaposition creates a clear social comment in so many ways. Nova and Damon are perfectly positioned to be the people who create that change.
The erotic scenes between these two virgins were by turns sweet and hot. Both of them experience their first forays with the opposite sex in a society that segregates the genders. Their association is forbidden. Some women view the idea of a love affair between a man and a woman as completely wrong, while other women think men are to be used and abused. In the midst of it all, Nova and Damon emerge as the model of sanity. The only wish I have about the novel is that it slowed down. Sometimes I felt the characters and plot were summarized instead of articulated. Other than that, this short novel is a must read for science fiction fans.
I picked this book up because it had an interesting premise, and to some degree the writer delivered. Stacey is good with language and I enjoyed reading Womankind from that standpoint.
But this book might have impressed me more if its basic ideas had been developed farther, and the relationship between Nova and Damon did not leave much of an impression on me either. Really, I felt like the book was too short to do either of these things.
I am a tough critic as I come more from Science Fiction, and this book compares pretty well to what is presently available in erotic sci-fi. Three stars indicates a work of some real promise to me, and the author should definitely pursue her ambition to write.
In a world so unlike our own that it borders on seeming to transport the reader to another world altogether, romance ignites with fiery eroticism. Delivered with drama and tenderness that jumps off the page, this short read offers both a fun twist on the idea of prison passion as well as a love story. There is an interesting twist at the end, which I won’t spoil, which really closes things up nicely for a short. Altogether well written and fun.
I wanted to like this book more than I did. The premise was okay but if I read men can't be trusted once, I read it 50 times. So, yes it was repetitive too.
