Some aspects of this book have aged about as well as milk (General Jinjur and her army of revolt would fit right into in an old-timey anti-suffragette political cartoon), but like the previous book, it's counterbalanced by a substantial cast of powerful and compelling female characters.

Speaking of female characters, there's a genuinely cool plot twist at the end that I won't spoil here. While not handled as well as it would be in a more modern book, the fact that it's there at all in something published in the early 1900s is pretty impressive.
