Maybe it I hadn't watched Y, this would have been better. I couldn't get over the similarities, especially the first half.

this book is so bad, the premise sounds interesting enough but the execution is done so poorly. The main character is not likeable and the whole novels pushes the idea that a matriarchal society is toxic also VERY anti-communism. The whole book felt like it was written by a TERF with the constant sprinkled in transphobia. I really didn’t like the main character and felt like this books paints all feminist as evil man killers. truly not good
I keep reading Dalcher's novels, and I keep being disappointed by them. The ideas are all there, but the execution is often poor and rushed.
This is very much the same issue with Femlandia. The central issue for the main character being that her daughter has been taken in by the leaders of Femlandia and turned against her. Sounds plausible right? Except this happens instantaneously, the exact moment they walk through the XX gates. This? Not so plausible.
From there it kind of goes downhill.
I also take exception to the portrayal of lesbians, who seem self-interested, delusional and kind of creepy. Point in fact, the adopted daughter who becomes lover.
I get it's meant to be a dystopia, but I don't think that in order to achieve this you need to shit on women who are proudly living their lives without men being constantly centered within that.

Was a bit slow in the first half, felt a little misleading as a lot of the story isn't even in 'Femlandia', but once it was I wanted to know what was going on and found it hard to put down. I also found the main characters slightly insufferable I'm ngl, I didn't feel attachment to anyone in the story.
