I had mixed emotions about this book. I loved the overall idea and the world building. It was such a weird combination of setting and story, which actually did amazing things for me. But the book lost me with the actual events and timeline, as well as with certain characters, like Morgana. I loved that the author added "historical" footnotes throughout the book and I loved Uncle Cornelius. This book had me excited, lost my attention, and then caught my attention again at the end. I enjoyed it, but it definitely wasn't my favorite.
