Reviews

[Chumley Pawkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A vertiginous journey through a fascinating vision of “another” Russia that, amongst many other things, compresses the timeline of the Russian Revolution and the ascent (and terrifying reign) of Stalin into six years. I’m really not a fan of the fantasy genre by any stretch of the imagination, but this held me in rapt attention from the first page.
