Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It's not as good as Cat's Eye, but it's still a good Atwood novel. The ending is a little too sad for my taste, but it follows the thematic elements established, so I'm not mad at it.
it ends like a vicious circle doomed to repeat until the end of time, and that's just a little too sad for me, ya know? Like, at the end of Cat's Eye, you get the idea that the maim character GREW from her mistakes. In Lady Oracle, it feels like the character grew weaker and weaker over time, so it feels rather hopeless at the end
