We rage and cry over The Hero of Ages, a book that is surprisingly hard to talk about because it's doing so much at once.

Correction: After the break I make a claim that the Bastille wasn't a prison for very long, I am very wrong! I am confusing it with a completely different French fortress which is embarrassing. The Bastille was made into a prison specifically for political prisoners and anyone the state deemed to be imprisoned, which is part of the reason it was stormed and was such a symbol during the revolution. I should know this better.
