Sequels Winner: The Testaments
"One of my favorite questions from the Audible Questionnaire is 'what do you most dislike in storytelling?' My answer: When the story ends. If you’ve ever finished listening (Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program
) and wished there were more, you’re definitely not alone. There are tales you never want to end because they leave you with unanswered questions or characters you’re desperate to know more about. That’s why when news broke that Margaret Atwood was (finally) penning a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, you could hear the proverbial choirs sing. Jumping ahead 15 years, The Testaments is the perfect sequel, taking us back to Gilead to explore the fates of Offred, her daughters and Aunt Lydia. Olive, Again, Find Me, and Call Down the Hawk all revisit characters we’ve missed, which is what we hope for in any sequel, while others, like The Bride Test, serve up a second slice of the story with a mix of new characters and familiar faces." —Margaret, Audible Editor
