This book was a bit much for me. It is very heavy, even the parts we are supposed to cheer for. I think I was supposed to be happy at how the ending turned out, but I wasn’t. While this one localized issue was resolved, what about the rest of the world? 

I also had some questions that were unanswered. If other women like the three main characters exist and have existed for generations, how isn’t there a larger network of them?  

After certain characters were introduced I knew fairly quickly they’d end up being the bad folks, but I didn’t know how. I almost DNF this audiobook several times but I did ultimately want to know how it ended.

This is revenge porn with magic! I love how the women embrace their powers after menopause, when society says that women lose their value. There is a lot of pain and sadness in this book, but there is also payment, justice, and revenge.
It is very well crafted, I have no complaints about the writing.
