Why read it?

1 author picked Lionhearts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an excellent book that takes a knowingly controversial theme and spins it into something altogether unexpected. It's a very original premise, that puts a character into an all to plausible situation, and it speaks volumes about the fractious nature of society in the UK and elsewhere at the tail end of 2025. Highly recommended.
