I love the first book, but I wish this one touched on Offred. She is not a present character in this novel. The book shifts through multiple POV and all characters know of Offred and she is respected and feared, but no one really talks about
how she escaped or how her life turns out. It is mostly Aunt Lydia’s perspective showing how Gilead came to be and how Aunt Lydia grew to be the cruel character she is depicted as in the first book.
