When I read the sample of this book I was so excited. A story about a future where women are in control, it seemed like a surreal book.
The premise is good and the characters relatable. Imagine wing in a prod where the men are dehumanised and women have all the power? There were elements that were hard to believe but actually some of it relatable,
However, I was very disappointed with the ending. I don’t know what I expected but it didn’t end with a satisfying equilibrium. Poor Arthur was teased by Dana from the start, even before the quickening took over, Arthur was under her spell and wanted to be with her. In the end he got what he wanted, it after all the hurt she caused it wasn’t what he wanted. It felt like I followed Arthur on his journey and engaged with him, only for him to result in not being happy.
I liked Victoria’s story, I found that engaging and how changing your life from being a pop star to someone in parliament.
Overall, it was okay but the ending was underwhelming.
