 Bold Strokes Books - Walls of Westernfort Review
Celaeno is an all-female society in a pre-industrial, pre-Enlightenment setting ruled by a strict theocracy.
And a new reader to the Celaeno series might be tempted to adopt this view initially, especially as she travels with the naive and earnest Natasha on her coming-of-age quest.
Rather, it appears to be theme-based on the institutions of that world, with stories focusing on the ruling Sisters of the Temple, the Temple Guard, the Rangers, the Militia, the psychically-skilled healers known as Imprinters and, perhaps most importantly, the heretics.

At the library we searched for information concerning the Great Hall of Celaeno, but other than confirming Celaeno as a star in the Hyades (a star cluster in the constellation of Taurus), we found nothing of use.
Travel to this planet was possible by those who possessed a substance known as space mead, and who could call upon unearthly creatures capable of fantastic travel through space.
I fear that a single trip to Celaeno will be all I, or if I dare speak for them, my friends can handle, so to rush into such an epic and insane journey without additional information on our quest would prove to be futile, if not fatal.
