Product Description

Product Description

Lesley and Mo can't imagine life without each other. If it were up to them, they'd settle down, raise daughters, and lead happy, fulfilled lives. But they live on the planet Rymel, in a strict society that selects life-mates for its citizens and executes those who violate their life-bonds.

Girlfriends since their teens, Lesley and Mo know they should break up but can't let each other go. They dread the day the state summons them to meet their selected mates.

Meet Lesley and Mo when they're young adults in love and follow them until their time together runs out. Will they do what their society expects of them, or will they sacrifice their lives for their love?

Disobedience means death. 26 July 2011
By Star Gazer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Disobedience means death. Death to those who commit a Chosen Violation. Death to those who disobey. Death to those who violate the Way. This is the mantra repeated by the citizens of the planet Rymel. Adultery is not tolerated, and those that commit adultery are executed. The government of Rymel arranges the marriages of their citizens. Marriageable age starts at 25. Homosexuality is accepted and they also have their mates chosen for them. Marriage is referred to as the `Chosen Tradition' and you stay with your Chosen for life. The main protagonists, Les and Mo, are two young women who have been lovers since their teen years. Their one wish is that they will be selected as each other's Chosen. This is a long story, we follow the protagonists through their training as military officers, and up to the time they turn 25. They end their relationship at that point and this is where the story stops. There is a sequel, which is good, because I want to see what happens next. The idea for this story is interesting. The only fault with the story is at times it seemed to be repetitive in places and the cover art is unattractive. But the story did hold my interest and I want to see what the future holds for Les and Mo.

Great scifi 27 Feb 2011

This is worldbuilding at its best: Sarah creates a larger than life totalitarian system which is seen through the eyes of the two main characters. Sarah does a terrific job to draw us in into the world of Rymellan. Terrific story!
A very good title and highly recommended! 29 Mar 2012

Rymellan 1: Disobedience Means Death is a book written by Sarah Ettrich. She happens to be a very good writer. I certainly hope to buy more books from her in the near future.

In the planet Rymel there is a very strict society. This society has a Chosen council who chooses who people's spouses or rather Chosens are. Under this totalitarian society, the Way, which is the set of laws on the planet is strictly enforced.

No one questions the Way since everyone is supposed to be strong in the Way. People become joined or married normally by the age of 25, but sometimes a little older depending on who a person's Chosen is. The only good thing about this planet is that homophobia does not exist unless you count that the gay men who are joined can't have children. Still, I like that there is no homophobia and there is no mention of lesbian or gay or straight. Instead, what is mentioned is if a person is same-oriented of different-oriented and a person's sexual orientation doesn't matter. I just don't like the totalitarian society.

Now the main characters of this book are Mo and Lesley. These two women have been dating each other since they were in their teens. They have formed a strong bond with each other and love each other dearly. However, their relationship is forced to end by the time they are 25 due to the fact that they are both Chosens. The interesting thing between the characters is how they cope with a society that frowns upon their relationship since they aren't each others Chosens. Well they don't know if they are each others Chosens or not, but they hope they are. The characters were easy to relate to and you feel the ups and downs of their relationship from the time they realize their sexual orientation into their young adulthood.

The book is a very good science fiction and romance. This is also one of the best stories I have seen so far that deals with a same sex relationship between two women. I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. I rate Rymellan 1: Disobedience Means Death by Sarah Ettrich a 9 out of 10.
