The perspectives of 3 women inside Gilead. One broken down to become an instrument of the evil regime. One innocent who came of age only knowing the totalitarian misogynist ways. And one looking in from the outside, with unexpected ties to characters within. Their fates collide to push a domino stone that ultimately helps bring down the theocracy.
It wasn't as captivating as the original book, but it was a very engaging read, in a who-dunnit way. Speeding up towards reveals and an action finale.
I am also quite intrigued by the fact that Atwood defined the future for some of the TV adaptation characters.
