Very hard to put down. The abrupt changes in point of view, without extra paragraph breaks or other means of delineation, were a bit disorienting at times, but this could have been a formatting issue with the specific eBook edition. I was expecting part of the ending and excited to see how it happened, but the "how" happened off-screen, which was a little disappointing. Small gripes for an otherwise stunning book.
