“It’s frightening what she’s grown to accept as normal.” p.3
Dystopian-Thriller is not a genre that I can read a lot of. I was on edge and could not put the book down, every chapter was a cliff hanger, and the chapters were short!
At first I thought I would hate this, because it really paints “far right evangelical men” as evil and definitely has a heavy dose of feminism.
But reading it from a Christian worldview, I found it to be a humble reminder that without Christ in one’s life, any human, male or female, will be as evil as their flesh wants to be. In 2020, you saw a rise of science and government tyranny, just like in past and present history, you see religious tyranny. It all has a same root cause: sin and the lack of one’s soul submitted under the Holiness of God.
Also, my local library has a book club coming up, and I will mainly be a fly on the wall but I’m very interested in hearing different perspectives.
If you like clean reads, do not read this. TW for strong language, short sexual scenes, suicide and mistreatment of women.
