Yeesh. Way to make your heroine sound like a supervillain.

After rescuing Etta Candy, Diana then proceeds to body-shame her and her sorority sisters, but thankfully Etta Candy doesn't put up with that. The military then asks Trevor what happened, but Trevor doesn't tell them about Paradise Island.

Then Diana walks in and says that:

"this broken man's world must submit to the merciful authority of the wonder women of Amazonia".

We are now introduced to Etta Candy, and for some reason, I think the narrative is trying to imply that she ate a bunch of food meant for charity.

This whole book feels like a caricature of feminism. Like some misogynist's IDEA of feminism, and not the real thing.

So Diana has melodramatically discovered that *gasp* women die in "Men's world", and that there is warfare. And in doing so, essentially, ironically, acts the way real-life misogynists act towards women.

She assumes she has expertise she clearly doesn't, condescends to everyone around her, and when the military inexplicably attacks for...some reason, proceeds to call the very male soldiers "girls".

Echidna? This woman is going to wake ECHNIDA?

All because Diana left with some random guy?

WTF?!!!

I mean, it's probs not the real Echidna, but no sensible ancient Greek person should be trying to wake the "mother of monsters".

That is, it has the stink of "man's world".

That, and drawing them so that their breasts and/or butts are the center of attention as much as possible.

And while it's nice to see the lesbian representation, we inexplicably have Diana betraying her girlfriend Mala for a strange guy she met.

Because apparently the super enlightened women of Amazonia, kill injured strangers on the spot if they're male.

And apparently not identifying as female has a scent.
