I absolutely adored this second book in the life of Aunts, Handmaid's, Commanders - all things Giliad. It was hard to put down, and I flew through it in a week. It's well written, gripping, and adds so much depth to the previous book. What's helped is the visualization from the show - you have come to know it's characters not simply via the first book, but via the show, so are truly invested in their experiences and hopes. Truly incredible, could not recommend more.
