2.5 benevolent goddess-worshipping matriarchies
What the hell did I just read? Speculative feminist fiction meets Frankenstein with a strong underlying theme of incest and rape. Bah.

This is probably the third time I've read this book, the last time being in my early 20's. It's certainly not that great of a story, and it's not along the usual of what I read nowadays, but for a guilty pleasure quick (and I do mean quick) read, this one gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
It is definitely steeped in a lot of mythology, which greatly interested me as a teen, and a whole lot of sex, and who wasn't interested in that as a teen?
Overall, not the most high quality literature, and I don't foresee myself hanging on to it for another read in the future, but I do give it 3 stars for some cheese entertainment and engaging readership.

The story itself was pretty good, but the one thing that dragged the book down was the language. A very brute, and not so 'sofisticated' language that matched poorly with the storyline if you ask me. If it wasnt for this the story would be fantastic and the book itself is pretty unique, just wished for a better matching language.
