The base of the story is good, had so much potential. It's just all thrown together in a cook pot and boiled. Then written by an excited toddler. Was the author even trying? 
 Really terrible. Aside from the story making little sense it jumps about with random explosions, kidnappings, chases and insta-love. We get the barest bones of the society the characters exist in. We learn everything's clockwork, they have a military & it's similar to victorian era. 
 The plot makes little sense at points. If this society is so dependent on mechanics why would they condemn a certifiable genius to death? Even if he is a killer, someone would make him quietly disappear & encourage him to continue his work. (view spoiler)[this becomes a point the author even makes when Sebastian is revealed to be a turncoat.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]
