The whole book was transfixing, the last few pages a disappointment… but maybe that was the point. History is often like that. Things rarely end in a bang… they just end.

While I do prefer the depictions of characters in the Hulu series of “A Handmaid’s Tale”, I still enjoyed reading this adaptation! The art style was interesting and rather lovely, albeit dark (suitable for the themes).
