The Testaments

Compared to the first book, The Testaments was definitely more linear and easier to understand. But, I think this is one reason why the book is somewhat average to me. While I struggled to understand The Handmaid's Tale, the mysticism of the book is what made it so interesting, because I wanted to gain more context of that universe. In my opinion, The Testaments shone the brightest when the focus was on Aunt Lydia and Aunt Victoria/Agnes. I wanted to read this series, because the idea of a society ruled by extremist Christians was interesting to me. Daisy's POV was very boring and had a Hunger Games feeling I wasn't looking for. Her perspective felt very juvenile and Daisy as a character was just annoyingly dumb. Overall, the book was enjoyable, but bland.
