Leviathan's Deep by Jayge Carr
4.0
First of all, let me say that this is not my normal reading material. I don't read very much "older" Sci-Fi, as it usually feels cheesy and dated. While Leviathan's Deep did feel dated to some degree, it didn't take away from the book at all.
I actually picked the book up just to have something to keep me occupied for a moment, and expected not to read more than a few pages. But a few pages was all it took to suck me in. It had a very unique story and I greatly enjoyed it.
It is NOT a very happy story, and there is a lot of sorrow to be had. There are things I would have written differently, but that's why it's not my book!
Overall, it's an excellent story that explores themes such as the driving force behind patriarchy, the necessity of rules and regulations throughout a society, the innate sense of superiority that the human race possesses, and even what the flaws of a society ruled by females might be.
Overall, it was an excellent story and was greatly enjoyable. I'm not sure if this book will be easy to find for most, since it seems to be a fairly old (and not every well known) novel, but if you enjoy fantasy/sci-fi at all, and/or enjoy stories involving studies of human nature, as well as matriarchy vs. patriarchy, I highly recommend it.
