I could not ask any more of Margaret Atwood’s writing. Even though the voices she uses are each so different, I am completely mesmerized by each one. Truly kept me on the edge of my seat and was the most perfect follow-up to Handmaid’s Tale.

While I cannot deny that Atwood is a fantastic writer, I cannot say that I feel particularly wowed by this sequel. I get why she wanted to finally answer the question how Gilead would fall; I think the message she imbued in this is incredibly relevant, especially today, but the perspectives didn't amaze me and none of them felt incredibly distinctive. Especially towards the end I was kind of waiting for it to be done; a lot of decisions were predictable. In the end, though, it was a perfectly fine book and the statue made me sigh a very sad sigh.
Minun on vaikea antaa tälle tähtiä, ehkä kuitenkin kolme. Orjattaresi oli aikoinaan minulle todella tärkeä ja ajatuksia herättävä kirja, samoin Atwood kirjailijana on yksi suosikeistani. Tv-sarjan katsominen sen sijaan on jäänyt ensimmäisen kauden jälkeen ja tätä kirjaakin odotin hieman epämääräisin tunnelmin. Oikeastaan taisin toivoa, ettei Orjattaresi saisi jatkoa tai "lopullista selitystä ja päätöstä".
No, mutta olihan tämä vetävästi kulkeva romaani. Välillä oli olo kuin olisi YA dystotopiaa lukenut. Lydia-tädin kirjoitukset olivat kiinnostavia ja osittain kirja olisi varmaan toiminut lukemalla vain hänen osuutensa.
