The premise is totally cool, though if you feel weird about the first 50 pages (I did) try sticking with it a little longer! After I settle into the story the remaining 250 pages went by in a flash.
This book is very unique, the writing is compelling and the story is truly new! It feels both dystopian and historical, patriarchal sci-fi/fantasy and feminist fairytale retelling.
