alisarae 's review for:

Maresi by Maria Turtschaninoff

#AlisaReadsTheWorld: Finland

This book has strong primordial female power vibes going on. The themes of sisterhood, friendship, duty, and respect are refreshing. It was easy to get immersed in the setting and the story, and I genuinely liked all the characters with their unique personalities.

No cattiness for the win! Just girls supporting each other.

P.S. If you think this is about girl scout camp, let me stop you right there. It is very dark: blood, death, rape, honor killing, patriarchy taken to the extreme.
