If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, you owe it to yourself to learn how fascists operate. This book is a first-hand account of the escape of two Jewish men from the clutches of Auschwitz in 1944, their aim to inform the world about the slaughter of Jewish people and other minorities in these extermination camps.

Fantasy based on history that features characters with realistic motivations. The setting follows the transformation of Chinese peasant Shek Yeung into China's most fearsome legend, the Queen of the Pirates. Definitely worth a read, I loved the characters and the LGBTQ+ representation present in the book.
