Description During Books The Temple at Landfall (Celaeno #3)

This is a review for the entire series. Possible mild spoilers ahead, mainly because I feel the book blurb is too bland and generic to generate any excitement, much less interest in the entire series. I admit I've known about this series for years, but haven't gotten the urge to start it until my GR friends did and loved it.

This series laid down an astounding premise--possibly the most original in lesfic. A pre-industrial all-women society has found a way to procreate with the help of psychically gifted individuals. Control of these individuals means the priestess class has the rest of the population at their beck and call. Militia, rangers and especially temple guards all serve them in some protective capacity or another. Other classes mentioned in the book include farmers, merchant classes, and other specialized trades, even bandits and heretics--but all society revolves around the procreation process called 'Imprinting' and the divination and worship of the 'Goddess' who created it. What makes this series stand out from other alternate universe/dystopian works though, is the origin story. That, of course, is for the reader to discover.

The first two books seamlessly cross over so many genres--fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, adventure, character study and romance--its impossible to slot it into any particular one. It starts off as a simple though exciting fantasy adventure, as we get to know more about the inner workings of this society through the eyes of the protagonists. There are hints and undercurrents of deeper issues but nothing full-on till book 2, so don't give up too soon. The third to fifth books are all prequels featuring minor characters from Books 1-2. A bit disappointing in terms of story progression, but all are nevertheless very well-written lesfic adventure/romances. I've only been gushing about the plot so far, but the author writes very good lesfic romance in every single book--the kind we pay good money for. So you can pick up any of the Books 3 to 5 independently of the series and still get your money's worth. But, I can understand Frank's disappointment. They could very well have been classics.

As things stand now, there is no closure, no true ending. The author has set up one of the most amazing stories ever--we get the big reveal--but we don't get to see what happens next. Its been seven years since the publication of Book 5. Will there be a book 6 ?

Comment On Based On Books The Temple at Landfall (Celaeno #3)

This was a rather refreshing fantasy/sci fi novel. In a setting where there are no men, the typical plot would revolve around that fact, but this wasn't the case.Instead, religious fanatism seems to be the main theme, and it's done very well.

The Temple at Landfall is a light, entertaining science fiction story with a fantasy feel. Its also set on an entirely female planet.Lynn is a chosen of the Goddess, blessed with the ability to Imprint DNA and thus create new life. But from the age of twelve she has been locked inside the temple, guarded by the sisters, and given no choice as to her own life. When shes to be transferred to another temple, Lynn suddenly gains a measure of freedom and soon a choice that could change her life

Goodread kept throwing this book at me based on other books that I adored so I decided to give it a go despite my doubts about the female world thing.At first, it seemed I'd done well listening to the recommendations. I was loving the start of the book. While the world building didn't feel that amazing, it seemed well enough and Lynn was pretty likeable. The first action scene we get was well written and had me excited about the book.And then suddenly it feels like the author decided she needed

It's not exactly that it's a bad book, but I can't say it was okay either. I will only mention that I am very confused as to the reasons to have a world populated entirely and only by women (what about trans folks, if nothing else?) that reproduces the exact same dynamics as a world entirely shaped and primarily (publicly) populated by men.

I liked the premise but some of the magic was lost in execution. Like reproduction. The whole story revolves around reproducing in this world, but the method of reproduction obviously isn't so sustainable. In order for a woman to become pregnant, there needs to be an Imprinter. Someone with such highly developed "healer sense" (magitech healers) that she can combine the DNA of two women to form a fetus in one of the women's wombs. This just seems very... restrictive. It requires A) highly

Gosh I just have so many thoughts about this book, nitpicks and faves aplenty. All in all I did NOT expect to like it as much as I did, and I like it a LOT.First the good! When I realised this was a book about a planet full of women my heart kinda sank because I couldn't help but be afraid it would be full of terf bullshit. But we're safe on that front. The explanation behind the planet's makeup made sense, and while it was as ciscentric as expected of a novel written in 1999, it was handled
