À propos de cet audio

 An evil new magic threatens to undo all the progress women have made in the third and final book in Jenna Glass's riveting feminist fantasy series, following The Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted.

In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own reproduction, but the battle for equality is far from over. Even with two thrones held by women, there are still those who cling to the old ways and are determined to bring them back.

Now into this struggle comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former King of Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women reproductive control, but he has gained a terrible and deadly magic—and he uses these new abilities to raise an army the likes of which the world has never seen. Delnamal and his allies seem like an unstoppable force, destined to crush the fragile new balance between men and women.

Yet sometimes it is possible for determined individuals to stem the tide, and it falls to a unique triad of women—maiden, mother, and crone—to risk everything . . . not only to preserve the advances they have won but to change the world one final time.

A portion of the author’s proceeds from this book is being donated to Planned Parenthood, in support of women’s reproductive freedom. Action et aventure Fantastique Fantastique épique Fiction Épique Redevances

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for The Women’s War

“An epic fantasy for the #MeToo era . . . It is refreshing to see women becoming heroes in a world that wishes to keep them muzzled. . . . While feminist science fiction and fantasy books have been around for decades—see Octavia Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffrey—tales that reflect recent feminist movements like #MeToo are an essential next step.”—The New York Times Book Review

“The interconnected story lines, excellent pacing, and heart-wrenching ending will have readers clamoring for the next book.”—Booklist (starred review)

“Stands out as both social commentary on contemporary issues of bodily autonomy, gender, and social power and as feminist retribution fantasy, made manifest through an appealing epic fantasy setting and grounded in a carefully designed magic system.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“I am very here for this book . . . the first in what’s sure to be an incredible series.”—SyFyWire

“A blend of the traditional Western European epic fantasy and the birth control revolution of the 1960s, The Women’s War takes the reader on a journey toward revolution. . . . A fascinating and entertaining read, and a welcome addition to the world of epic fantasy.”—New York Journal of Books

“A compulsive read, riveting characters, life-or-death stakes . . . a smashing book!”—Tamora Pierce

“Gloriously paced, plotted, and constructed with such elegance that it ceases to feel like a story and begins to feel like the truth.”—Seanan McGuire

“The Women’s War is #MeToo and #Resistance and #ProChoice through the lens of epic fantasy. Read it.”—Nicola Griffith

This narrator is great! She always has good inflections and I don’t struggle to determine who is speaking. Also her Rhozinolm accent reminds me of my Dutch grandmother’s accent, she passed away ten years ago but listening to this book gave me a bit of her comforting presence.

Story wise I felt a little disjointed compared to the previous two in the series. The author struggled to handle the different narrators while keeping continuity and it made me feel like I was continually missing out on additional story and character development. I didn’t feel like I got enough time with certain narrators to the point where we would only find out about certain events happening when another narrator filled in other characters on something that had happened. For example something would happen in Rhozinolm with Ellin, but we wouldn’t get to experience it with those characters, instead we would head about it in Women’s Well when Allis was talking to someone else. I also would have loved to hear more from Shelvon, I think there was only one section from her perspective.

Ultimately I thought it was a good conclusion to the series and despite my critiques I did still quite enjoy it. I think it resolved everything that needed resolving and provided a good picture of what was to come for Seven Wells.
