The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent

3.0

The Unnaturalists alternates between first person narration by Vespa, a rather spoiled young lady with strong scientific inclinations, and the third person perspective of Syrus, a tinker lad with a strong link to natural magic.

Frankly, I still have no idea how exactly either the magic or the science worked, but the descriptions of both were entertaining nonetheless. A slightly soppy, slightly confusing, but generally well-written middle grade fantasy novel.

FYI, this isn't really steampunk, despite the cover art. 3 1/2 stars.
