A different kind of Power

By Jacinda Ardern

5 stars

I enjoyed A Different Kind of Power for itself. It reads like a novel. It is well constructed, with clear character development, plot (small-town girl to global superstar is a pretty good plot!), tension, well-formed sentences, wit. A good mix of deeply serious shit with a few self-deprecating laughs. There was no sense of point-scoring or power play. It feels authentic, a book written from the heart by someone with an interesting story to tell and some good things to say.
Kāwai: For such a time as this.

By Monty Soutar

5 stars

Listened to this wonderful story on Spotify. It gives a glimpse into how Māori lived prior to non-Māori arrival. It also navigates between past and present times to highlight to the reader the differences and of course similar issyes faced between the two eras. There is cannibalism, hierarchical issues, loss, triumph and the need to know who and where you came from. I enjoyed this and looking forward to my next book.
