Depressing but with glimpses of joy or optimism. This isn't a fault with the author as the subject and time period all but requires a darker attitude. Taking in the perspective of the usual victims of political forces was a choice that paid off well. I only took a star off because there were a sufficient number of typos, especially in the latter half of the book, that they did become distracting. Characters were well built and the story itself felt fairly organic.
