Kirja herätti ristiriitaisia ajatuksia, mutta toisaalta se kai taiteen tarkoituskin on. 

Toisaalta Voima käänsi hyvin päälaelleen sen asetelman, mitä monet naiset joutuvat kokemaan. Spoileri!

Toisaalta tilanne kirjassa yltyy pahaksi ja naisten osoittama julmuus on ainakin yhtä pahaa kuin miesten vastaava.

Ehkä kirjan loppupuolella kirja tuntuu kadottaneen sanomaansa. Idea oli jännittävä, mutta toteutus vähän ontui, ja loppuratkaisu lässähti.

A great dystopian novel about women gaining physical power and then gaining power throughout humanity. Women start to rule the world but will this new power cause them to ruin it? Will women become just as bad as men?
