2.5
A sci fi book but with sailing ships and early technology like gunpowder advances .
Overall the world building wasn't all that interesting, the warfare maybe interesting to those who like naval battles but that's not me.
Ended up feeling like a strange mix of political intrigue, old school battles, and sci fi tech setting and backstory that wasn't really very necessary.
Also kept waiting for the payoff to all the foreshadowing references to having to convert units of measurement. But the punchline never came.
Not a book I'd recommend for sci fi.
