The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
4.0

The Handmaid's Tale was a powerful, shocking, thought-provoking read, that left its mark long after I'd turned the last page.

The Testaments isn't any of that. It is a fun, page-turning, hopeful read with kick-ass heroines.

Narrated from three different perspectives, which I found really intriguing from the start and they certainly kept me hooked until the end. The way their stories entwined was very clever.

I enjoyed it when I was reading it but I didn't leave a lasting impression. An unworthy sequel but it was always going to be difficult to reach the same heights as its predecessor.

A huge thanks to Tandem & Vintage for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
