I am inclined to think it is what it is despite what the author publisher says it is. I can call a cheese sandwich anything I want to, but I doubt it will change it much.
Some Jules Verne is SF, some is steampunk (by broader definitions some say or a classic example others say) , some is both and some is neither.
I call it less than fascinating, but for many people it probably is.
