While I enjoyed it, it didn't quite hit 5 stars for me. It felt both too fast and too slow. By the time I got familiar with a narrator, it changed to a different narrator in a different chapter. By the last chapter, when all the threads were tied together, I had forgotten which character was which. Things happened fast for each narrator, but the build of all information together was too slow for my taste, so that when we hit the big reveal it felt rushed rather than foreshadowed and earned.
