Summary
The Wastelands Saga is a fantasy series that explores gender identity, gender politics and LGBTQIA+ issues through the lens of battle, adventure, and power struggles.
Society has been split between the genders. The women, or MuQin, occupy the west of the island and the men, or Astenites, occupy the east. The discovery of “The Elixir” - a potion which replicates man’s seed and, in the eyes of the MuQin, renders men obsolete - has left the Island of Uchukawn locked in an eon-long battle for supremacy, long after the oceans have reclaimed the land.
In this constant war, no sign of a victor has ever been apparent...until now.
The first book, The Battle of Gildora, sets the stage for all the power structures within Uchukawn island to fall apart, as the Astenites seek to destroy the MuQin city of Gildora. Yet, a mysterious group seems to be watching with intent, and all thoughts of tribalism and safety are challenged as the ultimate battle for dominance begins.

Game of Throne with gender politics!
I loved this. It’s a really well thought out story with some brilliant characters. In the second half, the book comes into its own, with some beautiful scenes and a lot of action. It’s brilliantly narrated as well.

Epic Fantasy with a rich Universe
Really gripping story - Ashman creates a rich universe filled with fascinating characters and conflicts. A brilliant use of the fantasy genre with a unique point of view. If you enjoyed the ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ series then I’d highly recommend this.
A powerful, nuanced performance from Ashman himself brings extra depth and drama to this already exciting book. A ‘must listen’!
