The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon
3.0
I had really high expectations for this book, but it was a really slow read without much happening and I was deeply disappointed sadly. I wanted to love the story, and ended up loving some characters, but in the end it wasn't enough. The first two thirds of the book were just too slow to be exciting or even slow burning.
But I loved the idea! What would humankind do without women ready to bear the future. What would humankind do without the womens endurance and patience? What would humankind do with only man wanting to fight and own the females? Right. They couldn't do anything without the men OR women together. So I loved what Amy Harmon wanted to tell the reader through the middle age set and the brutal reigns. I also loved the little bits of magic interwoven with the story and the overall idea about the monks who are like the church and the monarchy being in war most of the time.
Too sad that it couldn't catch me through the whole read. I often drifted away while reading or skipped some passage I thought not necessary in the end. I think its a great read for lovers of Amy Harmon, but for me there happened too less and I wasn't really invested.
