Review: A few rough spots in translation, but an engrossing whole.

There's a few rough spots in translation, and the fragmented storytelling style pulls focus away from the characters, but it's well worth reading for the vivid settings. You get a sense of perspective from basically every person you encounter, that add up to a different facet of the bigger picture.It's a slow read- the tone is very dense, and it can take a while to finish even a short chapter. It's not the sort of tone I usually prefer, but it works exceedingly well in context. I'm not much of a fan of the steampunk genre, but I really enjoyed this.
