adventurous mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

An interesting concept, but could have benefitted from (many) extra rounds of editing. Everything that happened was way too convenient, which made me feel like there were no stakes because the  ight thing would always happen next often without sufficient built-up to explain why/how it happened. Where Dalcher did play with tension, the plot dragged and dragged, especially as the plot was always pretty predictable. Considering it's a book centred around feminism, I thought that concepts of gender and equality were explored poorly and without much nuance.
