The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
4.75
challenging dark informative tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am so impressed by Atwood's ability to write a reality so terrifying that still holds onto real life. This book holds up a mirror to our current world and its history, showing the extremes but not too extreme to be unbelievable. This is such a valuable book, especially with the state of the US right now. This series is well worth the read.
