Closer to a 2.5 but not enough for a 3. Premee Mohammed models this book after Aliette De Bodard's work, but it's not quite that powerful and I'm not a superfan of De Bodard so this one doesn't cut it for me. It's executed OK but just doesn't have the drive. Can someone write some fantasy that isn't centered around Houses? Sometime?
