This was a mediocre book. The writing was okay. Did it contribute anything more to the saga of Gilead? Not really. Did I learn anything worthwhile about Gilead’s inner workings? Nope. It really bothered me that Baby Nicole and Agnes were included—I was hoping for a total separation of the TV show and the book. If I’m going to be completely honest, it feels like an attempt to cash in on the money pot of the show, resulting in a half-hearted, lazy end to the story. I am, to say the least, disappointed ☹️
