COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Long fulfilling set up submitted by mowjac on July 23, 2018, 12:18pm This looks like a fantasy novel and then shows its dystopian future in a great turn around. Rereading, I love the little clues that are now obvious, at feminism taking a future form and at Margot and the elders and what they offer.
