A review by ryan_dm
The Eternal Machine by Carol Ryles
2.0
Not for me. There's some internalised misogyny that needs to be dealt with here. The premise isn't interesting enough to let me overlook the casual cruelty in things like this.
__________
It took all of Ambrus’s strength to not laugh. Arabella had been married for nigh on four years and had yet to produce offspring. “Dear sister,” he said, “your hostile womb ensures the Grindle bloodline requires me more than it will ever require you.”
__________
That and the use of 'hussy' made me think this book is a few decades late for its optimal release date.
