Plot and pacing was quite consistent and jumps between extended periods of time were handled seamlessly- very very slow for the first 3 quarters, made reading the majority sometimes painful. Felt completely in love with the characters (the unbearable slow also drew out the characters beautifully so there was one upside). Definitely not the book to get out of a reading slump.
