I have an almost love/hate relationship with this book. At first, it seems to be three great stories fighting with each other to be told. It then seems like too much information, period. I’ve read many of the author’s prior works, and he tends to be a bit wordy, but I felt it a chore at times to finish.
That being said, I’m glad I stuck it out! The way the pieces fit together at the end more than justified the long journey to get there!
I guess there could be a caveat at the beginning: sit tight; you’ll get there, and you’ll be glad you did!
