Half a Crown

More of a coda than the knockout punch that trilogies usually end on. Much of the same thematic elements exist as in the first two parts, with the question now being what one does when the corruption and rot of facism has settled around them? What do you do when you have no more principles left to sell? They're interesting questions, and the Carmichael parts of the story explore them well. Eliza, on the other hand, isn't quite up to dealing with those questions, and the parts of the narrative that she leads suffer for it.
