Anyone looking for a proper, mature, nuanced examination of the French Revolution as an anarchic and far-reaching consequence of aristocratic tyranny and class disparity is going to be disappointed. But anyone looking for a good excuse to revise history into a fist-pumping nationalistic allegory for contemporary inequality with a sprinkling of occultism is going to have a jolly old time. None of this is to understate the importance of the French Revolution or the dangers of boiling away the nuances of history in service of speculative genre fiction, but you can always read a book, you know?
