I read through some of the other reviews and am amazed that some people cannot see this for what it really is!  They are complaining about the main character being unbelievable because he doesn't know what things are, or who certain people are, or even how to act in certain situations.  What I see is that Tor is a very humble young man that has never been out of the country and never thought he would be in such noble company.  It's not strange when you think about the time frame this story is set in.  Just imagine how people where back in the Victorian era: the "peasants" never interacted with the nobility and if one of them were dropped in the middle of the King's court, they would be amazed at the fact that the royalty couldn't even get dressed without help, but would be afraid that they were offending people every time they turned around.Tor is pretty much clueless and doesn't recognize that what he is doing is spectacularly helping his country. He gets so involved with his projects (as most creative people do) that he loses track of time and sometime just stares off into space thinking about them.  The inventions he comes up with are truly amazing. He doesn't realize his appeal for the women he meets.  When given a compliment, he thinks they are just patronizing him.  He makes people laugh at themselves and see the better side of things.  I think he's absolutely adorable.I haven't finished reading it yet, but I am hooked!  I cannot wait to find out how it ends!
