This fic is really a Love It Or Hate It one: either you think that it's a brilliantly clever, imaginative, and edgy For Want Of A Nail fic, or you think that it goes way too far in its Darker And Edgier Alternative Character Interpretations and eschews potentially complex characterization for pure shock value to make historical points. So Your Mileage May Vary, of course. I personally love the prose and alternative historical timeline, but the reinterpretations of England, Japan, and Prussia reminding me too much of a certain trope kept me from becoming fully immersed in it.
