I keep reading Dalcher's novels, and I keep being disappointed by them. The ideas are all there, but the execution is often poor and rushed.

This is very much the same issue with Femlandia. The central issue for the main character being that her daughter has been taken in by the leaders of Femlandia and turned against her. Sounds plausible right? Except this happens instantaneously, the exact moment they walk through the XX gates. This? Not so plausible.

From there it kind of goes downhill.

I also take exception to the portrayal of lesbians, who seem self-interested, delusional and kind of creepy. Point in fact, the adopted daughter who becomes lover.

I get it's meant to be a dystopia, but I don't think that in order to achieve this you need to shit on women who are proudly living their lives without men being constantly centered within that.
