A review by cathrynlucy_reads
The Mother Fault by Kate Mildenhall

5.0

When I saw that J.P. Pomare likened the world that Mildenhall wrote to Margaret Atwood’s Gilead, I knew I had to get in on this dystopian Aussie goodness. I started reading at the very end of October, and have had very little time to actually sit still and read since. A dystopian novel requires world-building, and I highly suggest you do the opposite of what I did and start this book when you have time to read a substantial chunk at once. I had to keep putting the book down just because ✨ life ✨, and that meant I needed to re-read a fair bit, as the world building was interrupted for me and I needed to re-establish it. I recommend this because the story itself is such a page turner, and you already need to force yourself to slow down to truly savour and understand the details. Adding in re-reading was frustrating for me because I just wanted to keep going forward, not back
