At first I thought it was just snippets of people‘s stories connected to Gilead in some way (as a bit of a fanservice to fans of the show). I didn’t mind that it was not directly linked to the characters of the first book. After some time a clearer story evolved, which I really liked and felt kind of invested in. The narrators did a beautiful job and the author again did a beautiful job in elaborating on this world.
