Like it's predecessor (Mortal Engines), it's definitely steampunk.
The language, and general pace/outline/plot of the story also makes you think it's aimed at the younger reader.
Until you start getting more in depth into it, and realise just how nasty some of the events in this are: kidnappings, brutal beatings, dismemberment, death, torture and the more, shall we say, intimate family moments are all part and parcel of the story - enough, perhaps, to make you imagine that this would be at least a 15 (instead of the PG) rating the language used would lead you to believe if it was translated faithfully to the silver screen?
