Helpful Score: 2

When I got this book I was super psyched about it. The author sounded interesting. The opening lines were killers in my opinion.

I thought I wouldn't be able to put it down. I was all about staying up late and reading it all night.

I debated about writing this review because it involves a word I don't usually use. Misogyny. I really think this book is misogynistic. I got about halfway through and just put it down.

I can't point to an exact event or an exact turn of phrase. But here's the plot that didn't get pointed out in my opinion.

This is a book about a bunch of wiccan/pagan neo-terrorists. All women who worship the goddess and want to overthrow the English government. But see, the women are just being used by the men who are *really* wanting to overthrow the government. No way could a woman actually orchestrate that right? And the main character, Jack. He has a female partner but she's green and dumb enough to go native with the clearly stupid incompetent wanna be terrorist man hating women.

I am not particularly sensitive about those things. But this book just left a bad taste in my mouth.
