Each time I pick up a piece of Atwood’s work I come to love her writing more and more.  We’ve come to know her for her approachable style and wild imagination, but this is oh, so much more.  She mingles suspense with sexual tension in a manner seldom seen.  Her vivid descriptions put you firmly in the realm inhabited by her captivating characters.  I was also floored at the way that she works real world issues into this unforgettable futuristic tale.Atwood creates the type of characters that you instinctively connect with and want to see succeed without having to know them very well. I fell in love with Lexy the moment she wanted to prove herself, even though she had nothing to prove.  I also enjoyed the fact that the cast wasn’t entirely human.  Both futuristic beings and mythical ones join their human counterparts to create an immensely enjoyable whole.As a whole, this novella was fun, exciting, and out of this world, both literally and figuratively.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone & can’t wait to read the 3rd novella in the trilogy.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
