I think it's important to be upfront about the subject of a book so a person can make an informed decision about whether to purchase or read.  This author's strength seems to be as a story-teller rather than a writer.  There were many homonyms like "lye" instead of "lie" and funny mistakes like "genitally" instead of "gently."  The punctuation was challenging and best understood if all quotation marks were ignored.  The time period was after the American Civil War and the place was India. The heroine was reading Tom Sawyer, and I was pretty sure that it hadn't been written yet.  The dialog was more 21st century with expressions like "no way" and "not happening!"  Therefore, it doesn't work as historical fiction, but if the time and place weren't set, it fits the Fantasy genre better.
