The Revolutions

As someone with a longstanding fascination with The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the enormously influential 19th Century secret occult society, I enjoyed this novel enormously. Gilman captures the era and the historical material with just the right number of details then takes the story from London into the stratosphere and beyond (quite literally way beyond). It's a deft mashup of many genres and the author pulls it off with aplomb. An absolute treat—fast-paced, imaginative, and engaging.
