Thrilling worldbuilding. It was a little hard keeping a lot of characters apart, particularly Robert's schoolmates at Radcliffe. I also found it odd that basically all wars happened at the same time for the same reasons in this timeline as in ours, even with the concept of empirical philosophy being in place. The magic system reminds me a lot of alchemy in Full Metal Alchemist.
