The Power by Naomi Alderman
3.0

The first half of the book felt really fresh and exciting. it went a bit off the rails though - especially towards the end. The first half was a lot of character building - though I have to say a lot of the figures did feel a little stereotypical. I kept waiting for something other than gender essentialism to happen, but it really did not explore that at all. Overall, a fun read but with a disappointing ending.
