The Women Could Fly
by Megan Giddings
The synopsis comparison to Atwood and Butler does this book dirty, as I cannot help but think how this book falls short of their work. It’s a great premise, but dystopia and social critique works best when it’s evenly layered into the story. The rules about witches seemed arbitrary and it was jarring to switch from complex nuances of relationship to tangents about human rights. Everything said was true, but it could have been blended better. Also when a magic system is introduced I want to know how it works, and I was dissatisfied with the inconsistencies.
I did enjoy the rumination on relationships between jo and her mom, friends, and lovers, something I normally don’t. It was real and so believable
