I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it was both expertly written and the author went to great lengths to describe every aspect of each character so that you felt like you knew them. The flip flopped society was an added bonus and added a lot more depth to the story. Even though this book is a young adult labelled story I think that many adults, such as myself, will be highly entertained with this book and for that reason I would recommend it to all.

Against Her Gentle Sword Fighting for Love and Freedom in a Woman World Against the Matriarchy Book 3 eBook Alan Stroe Tiberian Press Reviews

A quick and wonderful read! Against Her Gentle Sword is very well written, and a great book for generating conversation. Even though the characters exist is a matriarchal society, the traditional male and female stereotypes are extremely prevalent. However, the overall point of the story is equality regardless of gender. As a whole, I really enjoyed Against Her Gentle Sword. It had lots of action and a few interestingly funny surprises. I would definitely recommend this book!
A fun addition to the fantasy genre with clever dialogue and a unique perspective.
Straight up, I wasn't a huge fan of this book. But I've got some stuff to say, and it's not nasty or horrible. So here goes.

Against her gentle sword is an interesting dystopian novel that explores ideas of gender equality by trading a patriarchal society for a matriarchal one as if it wants to say 'hey boys, this is what it feels like to live in a society that isn't structurally shaped around your own gender. Not so great, right?' But, while I was reading, I couldn't quite figure out if this was just a dig at men and women who speak out against structural inequalities for both genders in today's society. I''ll continue on the assumption that it isn't, because this is possibly only an unfounded, sneaking suspicion.

In creating a society run by women, Against her gentle sword effectively transplanted women into roles that were, in present Western society, historically filled by men, and therefore assumes that the a world run by women would look exactly the same as one run by men the only major difference being which gender is discriminated against.

But enough of that. The book is well written, but I thought that the teenage dialogue could at times be a bit clunky and archaic. The story is full of action - note that it can at times be fairly graphic.

What is great about this book is that Dario's revolution is not for men to overthrow women, or for one type of societal grouping to become supreme, but for a society that views people as individuals and

The perspective taken in Against her gentle sword is unique and memorable. This book could easily be a discussion starter about a whole bunch of issues. And I think it would need some insightful discussions between young and old, because I'm not sure what messages I would have taken from this book had I read it when I was 15 or 16. Probably that it was an action-packed love story, and that Dario gets tazed in the todger by the woman of his dreams in lieu of painkillers.

I'm not sure what to make of this book. While thinking through this review, I've wandered through the entire spectrum of star ratings. I even thought of not rating it, but I don't want to disrespect the author by writing all this and then sitting on the fence about what I think. I'm sure that this book is relatable, and it touches on some important issues. The characters' motivations are explored somewhat, which makes for an interesting cast. And Dario is all in for the revolution.

I'm not a huge fan, but I don't think this book is a disaster. So I'm going with 2/5 stars.

Thank you to the author for providing a copy to review, although this didn't alter my review in any way.

I had been craving a good dystopian novel, so I scanned my to-be-read list for one. I found it in Alan Stroe's Against Her Gentle Sword Fighting for Love and Freedom in a Woman's World. Stroe's novel, which is set on an unidentified tropical island known only as The Colony, centers around Dario. As he is set to graduate high school, Dario has been selected for a fencing competition during which he will be selected by certain chosen females for his hand in marriage and his Reproductive License. He need not win, he just has to impress one of the female Protectresses. Dario's dilemma is that he will have to battle against some of his closest friends. His choices fight against his friends (knowing the loser will face a humiliating Defeat Ritual) or try to impress Gwendolyn, the girl he has always loved. Things get complicated when the psychotic Sylvester disappears without a trace. Dario, increasingly frustrated with The Colony's unwarranted gender discrimination and the female-dominated authorities' apparent unawareness of the danger they are in at the hands of Sylvester and his gang of renegades, knows that now is the time to take action, even if it means losing Gwen, the only thing in his life that means anything to him.

While the reverse gender discrimination is certainly an attention-grabber, it is not the main theme of the book. I think the most important message that Stroe wishes to convey is that people need to be treated as individuals, regardless of gender (or race, ethnicity, or anything else). Making rules and laws based on stereotypes and assumptions is not only unjust, it is potentially dangerous. Stroe also skillfully tackles the theme of civilized society vs. anarchy, and challenges the reader to think about whether a patriarchal or matriarchal society would lead to less lawlessness and violence. The whole novel leaves that question up in the air. Education is also an important theme. School authorities are given very high positions of power within the government, and all children (male and female) are given a solid education (which, yes, does include a healthy dose of indoctrination).
So if the idea of a young-adult dystopian novella without the graphic violence of The Hunger Games sounds appealing, check out Stroe's Against her Gentler Sword.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it was both expertly written and the author went to great lengths to describe every aspect of each character so that you felt like you knew them. The flip flopped society was an added bonus and added a lot more depth to the story. Even though this book is a young adult labelled story I think that many adults, such as myself, will be highly entertained with this book and for that reason I would recommend it to all.
