Interesting magic system but
starting from the author's note, the
whole tone is condescending. For a
book about revolution, it failed to be
compelling enough. I didn't care
about anyone at all!
And damn the footnotes.

“And over walls and earth and trees and swinging sprays and tendrils the fair green veil of tender little leaves had crept, and in the grass under the trees and the gray urns in the alcoves and here and there everywhere were touches or splashes of gold and purple and white and the trees were showing pink
and snow above his head and there were fluttering of wings and faint sweet pipes and humming and scents and scents.”
Oh, how comforting it is to read about innocent children just eating and running about. Collin's quick recovery shows the importance of having happy, healthy children around.
However, the blatant racism against the Indian servants is impossible to ignore. I wonder about the extent to which the "product of its time" excuse can be considered valid.

“When Lewis finally came to bed, he took sleeping Wren's hand in his and closed his eyes, seeing if he could sense her electrical field.
"What... What are you doing?" she asked groggily.
"Just seeing what it's like to love you when I can't see you."
A tender kind of sadness slowly seeped into my heart.
