The alternate history aspect of this is an interesting take compared to all the alt-Civil-War stuff out there, but what really makes this a fun read is the voice of our protagonist. Jane McKeene is a one-of-a-kind character, and this overcame my normal lack of enthusiasm for first-person singular narration. Not going to give away any plot details, just going to say that even if you don't think you personally identify with a black female teenage protagonist, give it a try and she will win you over.
