3.0

I picked this up because it was marked as fantasy… I suppose some might consider it such, but because of the way that it’s written and the time period that it’s in and how vague everything is, it’s more like science that they just didn’t understand at the time so they called it magic. I personally would not consider this fantasy at all.

Aside from that, there wasn’t really much character development or plot development… A pretty dry, boring story, all told. Pretty sure people like this for the pretty cover more than anything.
