A fantastic novel that truly grips the reader. The "subtle" showcasing of class systems and anarchism(; through revolution) is a well told tale of the struggle between classes of society. The writing is overall very well written as well, not "overly-complicated" ever, as to lose the reader, but still at a high enough standard and level as to not come across as "childish" or "belittling" in any way.
