Easy and enjoyably consumable. Finished it in two sittings, which is kind of incredible for my deteriorating brain these days. Leans a bit too heavily into speculation, includes jump scare detours to talk about the 2016 elections.

Disappointing. Fascinating topic presented with a lot of fabulist thinking, limited historical detail and the sort of charming aside that really only works if it really is an aside. I feel like I spent more time learning about the author's imagination and travel than getting any clear understanding of the topic, and in the end, the conclusion he reaches feels unearned in the context of the information he's provided.

Gorgeously written and brilliantly researched. The gut punch transition from the joyful equity of Genghis Khan’s original rule and the hellish cruelty and incompetence of his sons was hell to read. Really really fantastic book.

A really, really good book for people managers, soon to be people managers, and everybody who needs to embrace feedback.

I genuinely read this because I wanted to read an epistolary romance, and basically anybody who has read this book is now laughing hysterically. I am in absolutely no way a prude, but damn do I have no idea how I feel about this book.
