Which means that "The Red Queen" is seriously, even overwhelmingly, scholarly as novels go, and that there will be a certain determined quality to this fiction, a weight.

Upon entering the QMU you’re given a little card that provides you with the opportunity to become a student for one night only.
In all fairness the QMU is a rather nice little venue, with a bar situated at the rear and a pointless platform decked with seats cleverly positioned so you can see over everyone’s heads but can’t see the stage at all.
