The split timeline was too hard to follow. I don’t usually mind it, but it jumps around without and perceptible reason. Also, there are too many characters, and following them through the different timelines is very confusing and without purpose. The premise is interesting and I really wanted to like this book, but it just feels like there’s too much going on and what is there is not sufficiently developed. That is kind of the point, but also makes for a frustrating novel.
