Very good. Love the alternative history/world aspect. Unlike some books that feel sorta odd "power fantasy" while feeling like they disparage the plight of people of the time... This book felt sci-fi and abstract enough to be a clear critic of a system and not the real impactes people of our world. The shortness of the work aids the message being given and I would highly recommend this book.
