I got reviewed! #HOME #books #reading #wordcraftspress #bookstagram #yalit #Repost @capsiclekatie ・・・ This book was sent to me by @eleniwriting in ebook format in exchange for a review on my bookstagram account. ~ Home Rating: 3.5/5 Stars ~ This book was interesting, even if it was predictable. I haven’t read the Handmaid’s Tale, but based off what I know of that story, this is very similar. The premise of this story isn’t something that would normally interest me, but I’m glad I was given the opportunity to read it. This is a powerful story about how hypocrisy and power can twist a society into something so atrocious it’s hard to imagine. It was difficult to read at times because the punishment is so cruel and the sexual violence is gut wrenching. This society’s view on women was so contradictory to what I believe, I wanted to throw my phone across the room as I read the things coming out of the Elders mouths. I understood the need to have those moments in the story, but it was nevertheless hard to read. Where I think this story really excelled was in showing the power of love and compassion. The affection that grows between Suzannah and the Maarses is a bright light in this story. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Suzannah to find her worth and hope for a better future. Watching this society crumple before Suzannah’s eyes was satisfying after reading the horrific things they did to the women they degraded and enslaved. ~ This story does suffer from a lot of technical issues, though. There are formatting and editing errors abound. Grammatical and structural errors increase in the later half of the book. It took away from the experience of reading it, but it didn’t effect how powerful this story is. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good dystopian novel. And a huge thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review this! This is an amazing novel for a newly published author. #booklover #book #books #reading #reader #read #bookish #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #booknerd #bookgeek #booksofinstagram #newauthor -- source link
