  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

Biased review here as a Handmaiden lover, however… spectacular. 
Twisty, turny and just all round a gorge book. 
My heart was broken, put back together, broken AND PUT BACK TOGETHER.
Probably the fastest I’ve read a thick book ever, almost definitely aided by the fact that the movie was just playing in my head.
If you’re wondering if it’s worth reading if you’ve already seen the movie… girlie just do it, trust me.
My girls.
My Susan.
My Sookee.
