Wowee what a ride. I absolutely loved the strong, potent female characters in this book.

Reminded me of Weyward but super sized/ super strengthened with the added aspect of a murder mystery. 

If only women ruled the world! 

So many great quotes in this book, but one of my favourites is:

"Why do you think women are designed to outlive men?  Why do we keep going for thirty years after our bodies can no longer reproduce? Do you think nature meant for those years to be useless? No, of course not. Our lives are designed to have three parts. The first is education.  The second, creation. And in part three, we put our experience to use and protect those who are weaker. This third stage() can be one of incredible power."

And Harriett facing off to her CEO:
"Yes, you're afraid of me because I'm better than you are. And if you give one talented woman the power she deserves, another will follow. Then another. And together they'll show that their way is better. Then your whole fake fucking world will come tumbling down."

Amen sister. 🙏
