A review by nezi
The Power by Naomi Alderman

challenging dark tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Fascinating concept but the execution leaves much to be desired. The Saudi Arabia part reeked of white feminism at times. I also disagree with the author on how the events would unfold should such a thing happen. That could just be the optimist in me.
