I enjoyed it. It's a solid fantasy, clearly inspired by Glen Cook, about how a decent republic might survive in a world of Dark Lord name magic without having to wait around for the White Rose to be born. The Graydon strange attractors are filed down, and they make more sense in an imaginary context anyway.

(Although I am not sure why this setting isn't more like one of M. John Harrison's chemical wastelands, given the premises. Salt is 60% chlorine by weight; oceans should be deathtraps. For that matter, the violent things you can make from mostly nitrogen are rather astonishing.)
