It is written like a history book, but for the most part it was easy to read. In fact, the book begins by showing that there was a depression within the depression caused by FDR's New Deal ideas discouraging businesses/individuals to save money and by over-regulating some industries and trying to make other industries government owned. This book also crushes the myth that FDR was the savior of the country because of New Deal programs. He made the Great Depression worse by implementing anti-business policies at a time when we needed business to grow more than ever. It destroys the myth that Hoover made the Great Depression worse by using capitalism. FDR relied on advisers that visited the USSR and saw the sanitized version of Communism that Stalin wanted them to see they even visited with Stalin! But instead, they jumped on the Soviet bandwagon and tried to implement Socialist programs. It really illustrates that if the politicians would have stuck to free market principles the Great Depression would not have been so great. This was a wonderful history of the Great Depression from a policy-making/political standpoint. ![]() ![]() "An Inward Necessity ": The Writer's Life of Lucas Malet deserves attention from anyone who might be interested in the ways women wrote fiction during an especially tumultuous period of literary history.

Perhaps a brief tl:dr might be that this fourth book in what is planned to be a ten book series is vast and complex it is inherently character driven and full of intriguing characters, but also deals in mindblowing universe level concepts that I am barely able to keep track of not having read all of the Cosmere books. But if you are stumbling across this review not having read the previous books, characters and concepts such as spren and Fused and Shards will be baffling!
