This book fell a little bit flat for me. Even though the first third was a bit confusing at leasy It was intriguing. However, the remains two thirds of the book were lacking in many aspects, namely, of all the female characters were poorly written and only existed to serve the male characters. Moreover, the character of Eadweard Muybridge was totally unrelated to the overall plot. The only redeeming qualities of this book are its beautiful prose and interesting world building. Overally it's a beautiful world with an empty story.
