I loved this book. I was moved to tears during more than one passage. I'm also a sucker for anything relating to the for-all-intents-and-purposes working slaves rising up and overthrowing the upper classes, which this book has in a unique way in terms of how the ruler (Joh Fredersen) responds to the uprising. One of the best books I've read this year! Rewiev 2 : Some of the most interesting use of the narrative structure I've ever read. Language is used in strange ways, often repeating woke paragraphs and metaphors to help hammer home an idea. Some of the most deft use of metaphor I've ever seen, and given that it was written so long ago, it stands up avaunt modern books with ease. I will say that the end portion of the book can be a bit hard to follow if you're not on your a game. A hard read but a satisfying one.
