Thanks so much. I've only read a little bit so far and I'm already enjoying it.

I haven't read it myself yet, but there is some discussion about the book (and Strong herself) in this video by Lady Izdihar

There is a slightly better version of it on libgen (link to annas-archive). (I used that to make an EPUB of it)
