3.0

When things wrapped up neatly at the end of this novel, I was disappointed. How dystopian of me! But I guess I wanted things to NOT work out. Some of the plotlines I loved--I liked hearing from Aunt Lydia and baby Nicole, but I really didn't enjoy the ending. You'll see what I mean. From looking at the reviews, I'm not the only one who didn't love the way things wrapped up.

And read this in print. The audio has some annoying issues.

4.0

challenging emotional hopeful medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

A really heartwarming (by its end) sequel to the Handmaids Tale. Atwood writes sensitively and with fire in her characters voices. It obviously doesn't match up perfectly with the TV show but that's neither here nor there. The third of Atwood's bibliography I have now read, it solidifies her as one of my favourite authors.
