Finished the “His Dark Materials” series, and now I’m reading the sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale” that just came our - “The Testaments.”
Honestly I’m enjoying it more than Handmaid, which I respect conceptually, but don’t particularly love in terms of style and flow. Quite a pretentious tone, to be honest. I vastly prefer the (also sometimes pretentious) show to the book, but Testaments is written much differently. More in the style of a political thriller. Still plenty of guessing and uncertainty, but more direct and clips right along at a smooth and satisfying pace.
Also it has this whole Trump thing to kind of indirectly lean on as reference material. I’m enjoying it.
