Incredibly glad we are this far into the COVID pandemic when I read this book. This was not a book for 2020.
Very readable and hard to put down. I read it with my partner and we both finished it in a matter of days.

Making one of the primary characters of your novel a participant* in child sex trafficking is a pretty bold move. It's even bolder when you're Margaret Atwood. This is a dystopia to end all dystopias and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy this year.

Interesting, but depressing. And I usually like post-apocalyptic stuff.
