It's hard to remember, now, when I first realized it wasn't fantasy but SF, since I first read this >25 years ago. And it does have somewhat of a feel of fantasy in the writing style even knowing all I know now. But the discussion in Chapter 2, where Rowan and Bel are discussing how the blue jewels fell was my first clue, but then that's immediately followed by the tarot (or equivalent) cards, pushing you back to thinking it's really fantasy. Rosemary is really quite clever, hiding and misdirecting you while giving you clues at the same time. It's fun!
