Bad copaganda. IA as cartoonish bad guy, right down to cartoonish names. I’m sure it’s a product of its time. It could be worse, I suppose.
The Wife

by Alafair Burke

Finished 2022-07-07

I enjoyed the book overall but I do think that the eventual revelation that the women were lying, while maybe necessary to keep the twists coming and reveal the _big twist (which was an interesting if not entirely unpredictable one), wasn’t really twisty itself and is obviously problematic. I spent a lot of the book wondering if the author would reveal their politics, and while I don’t think the twist is an endorsement, it builds up these women to a real extent, somewhat intelligently presents all the things people tell themselves so as not to believe the victim, while presenting them in a way that seems to indicate it’s not a great thing… and then says “yep that’s right they weren’t a victim” and that sucked

by Rebecca Roanhorse

I enjoyed it but it suffers a bit from “book two” syndrome, where a clear purpose and arc to the plot is lacking, as characters kind of just maneuver around the board after the last book and setting up the next.
