I see comparisons to *The Secret History* and *Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell* so my curiosity is definitely piqued.

Describing it as a Secret History/Jonathan Strange mash-up isn't far off, really. Not bad. It mostly breaks down in that the stakes are so much bigger than Secret History and the moral choices on a grander scale.
