It was a bit slow-paced, but the story unfolds so beautifully and is so intricate! Morton is a great weaver of epic family sagas.

There's no mystery in a book where the reader always knows more than the characters, and it's deeply frustrating to experience the same events over and over again from different POVs, already knowing the outcome. The audiobook was very well narrated though!
