The stories of 3 resilient women throughout 3 different timelines and how they persevere through all the shit and abuse men put them through. It was an incredibly powerful story, but touched on a lot of difficult topics. I couldn’t get over how each POV was written in a different tense. (I get why it made sense stylistically, but I didn’t care for it.) Also a truly surprising amount of eye trauma so I hated that.

This was a really well written book, but I just don't think it was for me. 
I can't remember why I put this on my tbr shelf, but I definitely should have read the synopsis again before trying it out.
This was very similar to The Apothecary, a book I DNF'd in 2023 I believe. They both had the back and forth timeline between different characters who lived at different times and somehow they connect and they also both focused heavily on female empowerment after oppression and abuse with an added magical element.
These types of books are very much the tip of the iceberg when it comes to feminism which some people do need, but that's not me. They also make it very obvious that's what they're about and I prefer plots like that to be more subtle and make you think a little more deeply.
Because of all of this, I was mostly bored with the whole book. I also guessed all of the supposed  mysteries right away. Although I don't think they were really mysteries at all because they were so obvious. But still, I felt like I knew the whole book before I ever read a word of it.
Unfortunately it was a largely forgettable book for me and I definitely should have DNF'd it.
