I found this book engaging from beginning to end.  Every time I had to stop listening, I couldn't help planning how quickly I'd be able to get back to it.  I loved the characters and how they interconnected. 

I've read this author's work before, but this one felt different to me. It often felt like a cross between Fredrik Bachman's Beartown and Sean Dietrich's Kinfolk.

This book starts out really slowly, and I almost gave up on it several times. I’m so glad I stick with it. Beautiful.
