"Yay for history, the plight of women, Jews, and socialism! I liked the social commentary in this book more than the plot itself, which was kind of convoluted and frustratingly obvious. Time to shelve this trilogy for another several years before revisiting it again."

    " A bit preachy at the end (particularly with the Dan Goldberg character, righteous socialist journalist etc) but a quality yarn nonetheless from Pullman. This is the third in the Sally Lockhart series though, and I hadn't read the previous two, so I admit that I came into the series all wrong. "
