Not original, but oddly holding my interest.
A bit of a slow starter, but actually quite enjoyable once the story gets going and I liked the twist at the end. I am intrigued enough to read the next book and see where the story goes next.
The concept was great, but left me underwhelmed.

This book was so good! Dont let the cover fool you! this woman is so independent and amazing as a character!
Based on the synopsis, I really wanted to like this book. It sounded interesting and at the beginning of the book I was enjoying it. But I quickly became so very bored and disappointed, I did not even completely finish the book due to how bored I was.
Free on Amazon unlimited, not doing anything for me except irritating me with a protagonist who does silly things to move the plot along. The matriarchy/patriarchy idea could be interesting but isn't hugely the way this is done, and the writing is very much everything and what they had for breakfast. Some things you don't have to spell out.
A post-apocalyptic future divided by gender
So I have to agree with several reviews I saw that said this book is competently written, but lacking much dramatic tension. There is little to distinguish the morality of the cruel matriarchy of Matrus from the misogynistic patriarchy of Patrus. The protagonist grew up in matriarchal Matrus, lost her little brother to the harsh policies of her homeland, and is sent as an agent on a secret mission in Patrus, where she is required to be married - and the property of a man - in order to function in society. I enjoyed it.

Lost in another world
This is the second time I’ve read the first book of the series. Enjoyed every minute of it. On to the rest!
