Synopsis
Extract from Thandi H. Dlamini's diary, year 2058:
"I never thought this day would ever come. The day when every male on the planet ceased to exist. It's absolutely mind-boggling. The words convey meaning, yet lack true coherence. While all the women celebrated this accomplishment, I harbored a deep resentment. A resentment so intense that it drove me to betray those I once trusted wholeheartedly. I am left with no one to rely on, not even my own mother. I feel lost in this realm of sorcery. Will I ultimately perish in solitude within this dystopian society?"

Write a reviewIt's a good start and the grammar isn't too bad. The chapters are a decent length and the ending of the first chapter does make you want to keep reading. It tends to Tell vs Show quite a bit, but that's easy to fix and should resolve as the author really gets into the heads/mannerisms of their characters.
This is actually very refreshing and unique, the writing is immersive and captivates you as soon you start reading, the only problem is its updating rate I wish it had more chapters tbh, but overall it's very good I hope the author keeps writing.
Not my type of story but it's quite interesting. The writing seemed a bit hard to read. This story is new to me. Anyone who likes new concepts, it's a must read.
I think this is a great book, even though it's in it's early stages. Imagining what the world and events in the world would look like is easy. At first, I thought the whole book might be a long battle of genders. I am pleasantly surprised that it was nothing like I expected, and I will be definitely awaiting all the chapters to come. :)
A world without men. That's the premise of this story, yet for such a simple statement, it's anything but. In just a few chapters, we are encouraged to ponder, is such a world truly desirable? Can it work? Will things really change? Or will the rejected 'evil' simply take new form? I am honestly eager to find out and I must praise the author for posing such an implicit question to us readers in a smooth and cohesive way. I found every chapter to be very well written and great at pulling me in. I quickly became invested in our lead Thando and her experience thus far. I'm eager to see how the relationship between her and her friends develop. Most of all, I want to see where this journey will take her next.
I've only read the first three chapters of the story and it really interesting that it shows more of the cons of life through the MC perception. She lost someone who was close to her in the process of achieving this new society and hopefully will be given the opportunity to take action which you can tell from the outset will lead up to her going against her own remaining family. So if you want a female lead, action and adventure story I recommend it.
