Dark feminine rage in defiance of individual and systemic injustice against women and girls. It’s sure to make most male readers too uncomfortable to bother even though it’s a story that needs to be heard. I have two small complaints. 1. There are twists in the story, but I anticipated nearly all of them. And 2. The female characters were layered, but they still weren’t fully three dimensional women. Because they were archetypes, the women weren’t allowed to stray from their categories. I don’t know a single woman who stays in her category.
