liked the premise, wish the main plot had a little more oomph
i found myself wishing for a bigger conclusion about the prophet storyline. i liked the ending and what mandel decided to include in the dialogue and what she left unwritten
but writing was good and interesting format

The book is pretty complex. I highly recommend to take notes while reading. Mark characters, their storylines, important events, themes, reoccuring items (for ex. the paperweight). It'll be easier to look back on them (characters often refer to them) and to see how they are conected.
