Widowland was a good alternate history that is based on a what-if: what if England and Germany were united and the nazi ideology ruled. It meant a different history and a women divided into caste according to their phisical perfection or fertility.
This book starts after the events of Widowland and we met again Rose, still working on modifying literature in order to made it ideologically harmless.
Even if the leader died the regime is still in place and Walli is the widow queen.
The plot that starts from here is complex and gripping. There's a lot surprises, twists and turns.
Some parts requires a bit of suspension of belief but I found the book highly entertaining and gripping.
It's the kind of book that keeps you hooked and never drags.
I think that there's going to be another part that I can't wait to read.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Quercus and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
