Now they are talking about novel viruses in Constantinople in 1854. Viruses have not been discovered yet. Also, everyone in Constantinople speaks English. this book is really the worst. Why am I still reading?

The clanging anachronisms are going to make it hard to finish this sloppy mess. We’re in Constantinople in 1854 and a basement is lit by buzzing electric bulbs!! Would be news to Thomas Edison and to the city of Istanbul which didn’t get electricity until the 20th century. There was also a kerfuffle about an unlicensed gun in London (gun licensing not being a thing in 1854). And of course the dialogue!

A street urchin in Constantinople just quoted Shakespeare calling him “the bard”. Is this book a joke? I am now in the depths of a hate read
