- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh my god this book is amazing. It has a classic feel to it, in the vein of writers like Le Guin, McKillip, Pattou, McKinley, etc. The writing and action are spare but lovely, and it's just...yeah...pretty wonderful.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was easy to devour, went down smoothly!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Translated from Finnish, this book is a combination of the horrifying possibilities in The Handmaid's Tale with ancient pagan tales. It's a wonderfully feminist, empowering, dark teen novel. Maresi is a 13 year old novice at the Red Abbey. The Abbey is located on a remote island and only women are allowed. They worship the goddesses and are completely self sufficient from men. Everything changes the day that Jai comes to the island. Maresi takes the scared girl under her wing and shows her the wonders and beauties of an island filled with only women. Little does Maresi know that she may have to take on role as savior for the Abbey and stop hiding behind her books and her new friend Jai. Very fairy tale-esque.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Living on the island of Menos, at the Red Abbey - a religious community consisting solely of women and girls, one devoted to the worship of First Mother, a sort of tripartite goddess figure - thirteen-year-old Maresi
