Sadly kind of overrated. I’m not well researched in feminism (trying to rectify that), just someone who is chronically online in feminist spaces, but I still didn’t really learn anything. Very surface level.

Fingerprints of the Gods: The Quest Continues by Graham Hancock
3.5
Once you suspend disbelief it is a riveting story. I think there is some truth to some of it (i.e. the pyramids lining up with constellations etc.) but a lot of it is just Graham following the fairy trails of his brain. I'll probably read more of these books though, because they are fun.
