4.0

While the flashbacks will give necessary context to things happening in the present, it can be quite frustrating to read a non-linear timeline story.  It always seems like it's getting interrupted right when things are getting interesting.

I think this volume in particular suffers from it since the present is such a small portion of the book but there were definitely some memorable and important things going on in the flashbacks so I'm not particularly miffed about it.
