At first I was a bit confused while reading, so I picked up the audiobook. Immersive reading for 90% of the book.
Half way through I re-read the prologue, which made the rest of the book make sense. I must have zoned out the first time I read the prologue.
The changes in point of view and tense weren’t difficult for me to follow. The writing style took some getting used to. Once the pieces started to fit together, I was pretty invested in the story.
