This one took me a few weeks to get into.  I had to remind myself that the content of conspiracy theories can be a slow burn.  I found the characters to be unlikeable in the first few chapters as well, but they let me in eventually.  There were some deep themes about connection and loss woven into the plot, and it didn't disappoint with the magick/Nazi/Templars plot once it got going.  The second half of the book pulled me along easily to the end (and made a difficult morning at work after 3 hours of sleep (oops)).
