  • This is everything I want from a Batman story!

Een schitterend leven, maar vergeten zal ik dit niet zo snel. Wat een bijzondere vrouw! Tegen het einde van het boek wilde ik eigenlijk nog geen afscheid nemen van haar verhaal en leven.

This was not what I expected.. and I'm not sure if that was a good thing? 
May be better on a 2nd read, but there were parts I didn't particularly enjoy and where I flirted with DNF'ing, so I won't be re-reading this anytime soon.

Love the concept, not digging the execution.

Is Naomi Alderman ok?
Does she like women at all?

So if women would possess an ability which would make them physically superior to men, women would become more agressive, more cruel and more violent than the worst type of man? Oh ok.
I like my sci fi but I could not bend my imagination THAT far.

Geez this was such a chore to get through. 
Points for the beginning, the end and Cosca.

This was good! Dare I say one of the better fantasy books I have read.
Kinda bummed I didn't buy the trilogy in one go.

Ok I realise that if I read this book last (seeing it's the most recent) I'd probably be disappointed, BUT I'm not. It's the third book I'm reading from The Witcher series and hey I actually liked this one. 
Sapkowski really does not know how to write women, though.

Couldn't bring myself to score it 3,5 or above because of the annoying and unnecessary  sexualization of Ciri.

Liked: I am a sucker for the mutiple stories come together type of storytelling. I thought this was handled very well. All the different POV's felt like different people. Combine this with having a real message about the treatment of indigenous people.. I was sold.

Disliked: /

Started out promising. But towards the end the stories gotten a little underwhelming to me. One I straight up disliked a lot.

The Ciri storylines were the best. 
Other than that.. I get it Geralt loves boobs, geez.

Shocked. No use of the N word. 
BUT leave it to King to add other problematic thinking nonetheless. 
More interesting than I thought it would be, but written as to sympathize and root for Charlie. Which felt too much like a incel wet dream sequence especially the reaction the classmates have.

DNF 15%.
Tan, I love you and I really tried. But it's a hard pass for me.
