I probably would've enjoyed this book a lot more if I had read it one solid go, rather than dropping it for a couple of months by getting distracted before picking it up again to kill time on a five hour flight. But it was a fun time. I wish we'd spent more time in the plot of the game if that makes any sense? I loved learning about the man who will eventually become Henry Greene and Ethan Frye, a character I have no fondness for but understand why others would and why his twin children view him the way they do.

If we'd gotten to spend time with the plot more, maybe in a separate book if I'm honest, I would've liked an unbiased look at Jacob Frye, who both Evie and Henry have a hard time dealing with simply because he is seemingly their polar opposite, and family in Evie's case.

I don't know, I love Jacob too much to take him at his sister's and her boyfriends word.
