3.5. I liked it well enough. It kind of reminded me of another book I read and I was actually hoping for more steampunk elements and more action, but it's a good start for a series. It was a little disjointed in tone, I thought Claire was much younger at the beginning and then she seemed much older than her age for the rest of the book. I think I missed some things regard Lord Selwyn too, but otherwise the book was good.
