4.0

First 1/3 of the book or so was tough to follow and hard to get into. Last half of the book was most satisfying as you figure out how the stories connect and what link(s) they share. The theme was not so heavy that it was drilled in, but it has left me pondering. I was ultimately left unsatisfied with the epilogue of one character’s story- I do think we needed more understanding on that tale.
