It sounds like it would annoy the hell out of me, but more because I'm really sick of royalist propaganda being put into the hands of teenagers who are unlikely in the vast majority of cases to have any kind of critical distance from it, especially in the absence of any opposing viewpoints (probably because most people who are for the Revolution realize that it's too complex a subject to make into light reading starring moody adolescents - though that said, I'm sure there must be a more intelligent way to write a novel about the Revolution for teenagers, or indeed people of any age, since most novels for adults don't seem to escape those awful clichés either, especially in the English-speaking world). Well, that and the name Alexandrine Paradis is about the worst name for a character I've ever seen, even if she is an aspiring actress.
Thanks for bringing it to our collective attention though; it never hurts to be up to date on what's out there.
