I really struggled to immerse myself in this book. The first chapters are indeed very rich in information: the different worlds, hierarchy, the different gems, the many characters, so ... This book plunges us into a world where women are the ones who rule and dominate men ( we dreamed, Anne Bishop did). But unfortunately, most of these women are sexually habominables beings that enslave men, that share which emasculate them ... The little heroine Jaenaelle is an extraordinary child, endowed with immense power, never seen up 'then. But it is Daimon, a sexual slave, son of the King of Hell, that I attached. A powerful man, but to boot queens, who uses it as a toy. It will show entirely devoted to Jaenaelle. In short, my feeling about this book is rather mixed, for it is only in the last hundred pages that I was really immersed in the story. Perhaps reading the second volume will be easier now that I've mastered the complexities of the book.
