This book was a delight to read. I absolutely loved it. Its not often that you come across a book about revolution that feels imbued with queer chaos in the way that this one does, and it made it incredibly hard to put down every night! I loved all the characters - Red Eagle, James and Romaine being my favourites. And Denmark. And Mary.
I really needed a book about the success of revolutions and what it takes to pull one off - having started to falter a little bit and pass into despair at the state of the world, I feel energised to come back fighting for justice and freedom. I know that this book will be one that I revisit when I need to reassert my faith that change is coming.
