It has the same charm of other St. John Mandel novels but the story wasn’t as interesting to me. Paul’s character development wasn’t satisfying either. Near the end I would put on the audiobook to fall asleep and wouldn’t feel like I missed much.

Emily St. John Mandel delivers another book of solid fiction after Station Eleven. Lots of interesting characters, different perspective, mysterious happenings, and maybe ghosts. My only reservation is sometimes I would have liked to get to know some of the characters better - like Paul, the main character's brother. He is prominent right away and then sporadic afterwards. But a good book overall,
