an amazing sequel! It’s not directly after the Handmaid’s tale and not in her perspective either, but in turn you learn about a newer cast of characters who are equally interesting — including Aunt Lydia! such a complex and inspiring character.

one of the most amazing books i’ve read in my life — from the moment i picked it up it was already a favorite of mine. Margaret Atwood is a genius telling a story that women have known in their hearts for centuries, of suffering and power and human nature. nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

super well written, and very poetic! in a way, it was a very good commentary on humanity and such qualities as vanity and hubris!

i wasn’t quite a fan of the age differences, and the species stuff was a bit odd too… the messages are nice and all but they could do without the odd and even creepy stuff….
