Anna has written plenty of very good stories on the subject of fictional reality involving Female Domination. But of course not everything she has written is good. This book is typically one of those that failed miserably in the attempt of creating a believable Femdom scenario. Story is also utter trash. Just moving from point A to B with sole purpose of throwing scenes upon scenes. Skip this one and instead pick one of the good stories of Anna.

Story idea isn't bad. It's the execution. It's so short that the whole story seems like the prologue of a story that's supposed to start, but then ends before the beginning. Sometimes I wonder if there are two people writing by the name Anna Ritter. Because some of her stories are well written on very similar subjects.

Another poorly written story by Anna. I really like some of her stories. But it's irritating to find the stories like this that have no story at all. Just a single smut scene in an entirely unbelievable premise.

This is the story that setup 'Crystal Canyon Quarantine' world of Anna Ritter. Sadly, this story is a big mess overall. There are plenty of parallel stories going on in random directions. Numerous characters are involved in numerous activities. And it's unclear by the halfway into the book that there is no central story actually, and there is no main character either. Only reason I rated it two stars is because this book sets up the great scenario on which we can find several very good books written by Anna.

Luckily, I had read another of Ann's CCQ story, which was rather good. Otherwise, this book had refrained me to try any other story in that theme. And as I did that, I can also tell you that you don't exactly need to read this book for enjoy another story on this theme. Feel free to skip this one and pick any other story on the subject.

This idea has already been used in numerous Femdom stories. And many of those stories are well written too. Anna has a weakness of poorly building her characters. Then story buildup here is also pretty weak. Femdom scenes can be fun to read if you haven't read stories of this kind before. Otherwise, they would also feel cliche completely. I wouldn't recommend this book at all.

It's one of the best stories of CCQ world, and one of the best books of Anna Ritter. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in Femdom stories.

The story could have been good if written properly. While Michelle is physically superior, Natalie is weak physically. And all the babbling about female supremacy made no sense when told by someone physically superior to someone physically weak. Ending also disappointed. Only reason gave it two stars instead of one is because of a few good femdom scenes. But overall the story is pretty bad.

It's a Science Fiction Take on Femdom Erotica. And much like every other Sci-Fi story, Anna has taken enough liberty to create a kind imaginary but impossible scenario. Problem, however, is that there are way too many loopholes in that scenario, which are neglected to answer in the story. There is too much blabbering about what happened in the past, which bores the reader a lot, instead of telling in details what's exactly happening nowadays in Terra (Earth). A few punchlines are chosen about that details of current happening, and that keeps repeating throughout the book, which is entirely boring. But we are not given the true details of the lifestyle in Terra. Like, what about the current lifestyle in this new world where men are treated as slaves. Don't they have mothers and sisters who would hate their loved-ones to be treated this way? What is their reaction to all this (good, evil, accepting, or whatever.) And such. But even bigger problem with the scenario is how the story is told. Much like other stories of Anna, numerous scenes are forced into the story because she wanted to include those scenes in this book, rather than the scenes were the requirement of the story. There were just too many characters, and none of them were built properly. Not even the main characters, on whom there were just too much excessive wording was spent. Climax of the drama between Aric and Cara was so obvious that we already knew it from the beginning of the book. We were neither connected emotionally too Aric, nor Cara. We simply didn't care about anything. Anyone who would even enjoy this story would be due to a few good scenes the story contains. But overall its a poorly written long story.

Anna has written most of her stories in two series. One is called 'Crystal Canyon Quarantine', and this one called 'American Matriarchy'. The initial book of CCQ series named 'When Women Rule" was a pretty messed up book. But several of the later written books in the series were really good. In fact, one of the CCQ books is in my list of Femdom Erotica Masterpieces.

Probably the same thing is happening with this series as well. So far I haven't read any other books of American Matriarchy, so I can't tell about the other books. But this first book of the series is even bigger mess compared to the CCQ's first book. I really don't understand what the author was trying to do here. Because the premise is awesome. Its execution ruined it completely.

The central idea of this book is that a new city is created by a woman named Stacy, with the intention of making it a Female Supremacy community. And this city is located in California, USA. But the author conducted literally zero research on the technical aspects for creating such a city in such a location. Hence, there is only blabbering. No real knowledge is provided of how exactly population is brought into such a city, and how much is even brought. Where these people are going to work? How this city is going to earn money? Because a whole city cannot earn enough to run just by taxes of a branch office of even the largest enterprise in the world. Only information provided is those of the university students. But is the city's whole economy is based on student's fee? Even this information is not provided. Why give name of a country and then even a state when you don't want to research what's possible in that location? Why not make it futuristic book, so that whatever thrown upon us is acceptable? And then throw something upon us rather than just omitting those crucial details. Because everything in this book became simply 'unrealistic' and 'impossible to achieve' for that ignorance.

Let's talk about University now. The book seems to have about three-fourth of the focus on that university, but we're actually never taken into the university itself (well, once we were taken to universities premise somewhere, but in the open air, and by the end of the book, but that's all). We never saw any class rooms. We never saw what students were learning (neither females nor males). We were given 'hints' of what was happening there. Really? Why even bother with that?

Let's come to the most irritating aspect of the book. When all these 'Entirely unacceptable' laws are being launched (and one by one) it's never truly described what's exactly to the male population. Only one punchline described that all those who wanted to leave have left (and that was talking about the university students actually, not the other male population.) The scenes of two men doesn't describe the entire male population. It was compulsory to show their reaction, whether they are reacting aggressively or submitting themselves to those laws, and why. And if they're being kept forcefully in the city, how they're being kept?

Let me add something very funny. People can't post messages to social media pages. But what about calling someone for help over the phone or email? This city, Bella Spring, is only one hour away from a large city of California (never given game which one). Can't someone from there come for their aid? Can't a lawyer come for aid? Because the city is surely breaking way too many state laws (someone tell Anna that a city comes under jurisdiction of a state.)

I shouldn't be commenting on poor characterization because a book like this doesn't require characterization of a single character. Because the main theme is of a city. Some well written books on the premise of a place have never bothered to build a single character, and have jumped from scenes to scenes of random characters, and those were still very successful. Problem, however, with this book is that, it kept it's focus entirely on the characters, rather than the city. And it brought forth scenes of three couples regularly. But among those six characters, the book only attempted to build three characters. Why? What about the other three? Presence of those three characters in the scenes destroyed the potential impact of those scenes completely. Two of the very important characters are provided zero background information. I won't go in too much detail to make it a spoiler, but there is a boy named Zack who seems to have no parents, no friends, no siblings, and in fact no relatives in the entire world (except his girlfriend Mia), but then he has also managed to get into a university by magically having a very large loan from somewhere (we don't know from whom and where.) And this boy's scenes has covered more length in the book than any other characters. Yeah! That's true!

Now Scenes. Three scenes are so identical it seems like we're reading same scenes. Only minor differences. Two other scenes are also in the book that have no role to play in the story. They are simple interludes, and boring ones too. Two other scenes seemed to be playing a role when I was reading it, but later on everything happened in those scenes was simply wasted.

If this is not all, every few passages they are talking about bringing statues and legal stuffs, and most of that is entirely wrong and illegal. And no real solution is provided about how they are going to counter the issues that would arise, and how they would cover their tracks. We're simply, and repeatedly told, Stacy is too powerful. She's a is Billionaire. She can buy out everyone in United States. Yes! That's it!

I can write lot more about the mistakes of the book. But this has already become my biggest review at goodreads already. So let me cut it short. This book is literally trash. I would still give chance to some other books of the series, because the idea presented in the book is good. But I won't recommend reading this book to anyone. If you're a fan of Anna Ritter, better stick to Crystal Canyon Quarantine series. Even though the first book is not good, several of the later books are worth reading. This book is only going to deliver frustration and headache.

Story concept and the ideas of the book are good. Scenes are properly made. Characterization of the main character is handled nicely. But there is kind of a major problem how the important parts of the story unfolded. The drama story built had no excitement at all. Secondary characters felt entirely random and had no real importance for us. In simpler words it's a good and readable Femdom Erotica. But it's far from being a masterpiece.

Several of the CCQ stories are pretty well written. And this story is one of the good ones. The concept is pretty straightforward. It's a revenge flick in a fantasy scenario of women gaining somewhat like magical power over men. And it's handled pretty well.
