2.5 stars. This book succeeds as a thought experiment but ultimately fails as a novel. The premise — which has been called “feminist” but which I felt was somewhat misogynist — is this: If women magically developed the power to physically dominate men, more powerful than the physicality men have always had to dominate women, then women would become just as corrupt and abusive as some men have been. Everything would be flipped: Men would become the victims of sex trafficking, violent rape, slavery, etc. The problem is that it’s just not believable. A world with women in charge would certainly be different, but not in the way the author describes. Worse, from a literary perspective, the women in the novel are all one-note and meant to illustrate a particular type (mobster, warlord, etc.) rather than to succeed as fully-developed characters. It’s telling that the only complex and sympathetic character (Tunde) is a man.
