The world building and characters left me amazed. Truly a remarkable piece of dystopian Literature.
. I had to read this book for a course on feminist dystopian fiction and I loved every second of my reading experience. The isolated island is such a strong tool in building a new world as a sort of save habour from the outside. A pretty voluntary prison of sorts. It was a bit harder to get into this ones, especially due to POV changes and adapting to a new sort of world. But after a couple pages I was invested. I took a long break in between but the effect of the pages was still very strong. ๐ช๐ต๐ 5 ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐? โญ I don't see any other rating that would make sense to me, I enjoyed reading about the sisters' world and it kept me at the edge of my seat. The characters are very strong whilst also being real, they show strong emotions without a care in the world. The story did not need to explain itself and it felt like there was a natural flow in the reading experience. I truly recommend this book.
