An
evil new magic threatens to undo all the progress women have made in the third
and final book in Jenna Glass's riveting feminist fantasy series, following The
Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted.
In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own
reproduction, but the battle for equality is far from over. Even with two
thrones held by women, there are still those who cling to the old ways and are
determined to bring them back.
Now into this struggle comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former King of
Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women
reproductive control, but he has gained a terrible and deadly magic—and he uses
these new abilities to raise an army the likes of which the world has never
seen. Delnamal and his allies seem like an unstoppable force, destined to crush
the fragile new balance between men and women.
Yet sometimes it is possible for determined individuals to stem the tide, and
it falls to a unique triad of women—maiden, mother, and crone—to risk
everything... not only to preserve the advances they have won but to
change the world one final time.
A portion of the author’s proceeds from this book is being donated to
Planned Parenthood, in support of women’s reproductive freedom.

Mother of All is the third and final book in the Women's War series.
I've loved this series from the first book and couldn't contain my excitement
for the conclusion!
I may have had too high expectations because I wasn't all that excited while
reading it. The characters were all here, the Blessing/Curse was still present,
and the men are still angry.
The story took a long time to develop, it was a lot of conversations between
characters without any action.
I love this world that the author, Jenna Glass, created. I love the characters
and the magic system, I hate the villains, and dislike even more when I
empathize with them.
Overall, this was a solid conclusion to a great series. I was just hoping for
more. I feel like some ends were tied too neatly to really fit this story.

GLASS made her foray into epic fantasy with The Women’s War, but she
wrote her first book—an “autobiography”—in the fifth grade. She began writing
in earnest in college and proceeded to collect a dizzying array of rejections
for her first seventeen novels. Nevertheless, she persisted, and her eighteenth
novel became her first commercial sale. Within a few years, Glass became a
full-time writer, and she has never looked back. She has published more than
twenty novels under various names.
