Review: The Testaments

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 out of 5 stars - I'll tell you to read it without even asking! (but you need to read the first book first)

I really enjoyed the narrators in this book, as they were all different enough to know that it was a new section of the story.

I enjoyed learning the fate of Gilead and a little more about how it came to it's end. At the end of The Handmaid's Tale, we knew it was no longer in existence but not what had taken it down. This is a great story line that describes the end of Gilead from several points of view.

I loved that it kept some characters from the first book, but introduced us to another set of intertwined characters we didn't know about. Some of the characters were extremely disturbing, but others were not quite what you were expecting (after The Handmaid's Tale).
