Overall I enjoyed this book, but I feel like either I am missing some historical context or there is some depth missing from this narrative to make this a more impactful story. It touches on numerous themes including classism, industrial political complex, religion and more, but almost because it touches on so much, it almost touches on none of them enough. The mystery of this story is really the thread that you hang to throughout, and it is very intriguing, I just wish the execution of the themes was just as interesting
