Very interesting. Quite a shift from the tone of Handmaid’s tale. Valuable in reflecting on the situations where ones’ personal interest conflicts with their own morality.

Solid follow up to the Handmaid’s Tale. I liked that Atwood wrote parts of the book from the perspective of Aunt Lydia. I have always wondered what sort of circumstances led to her taking on the role that she did in Gilead and this sequel gives us some understanding of that.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense

Exactly what I was hoping it would be! I loved reading the three different views points of the characters. It was interesting seeing their different perspectives. Seeing Aunt Lydia's perspective was particularly interesting. A really good continuation of the original novel The Handmaid's Tale!
