5.0

I've seen this novel billed online as "The Stand for the Trump Era" and while I usually roll my eyes at the "X but Y" formula for markeeting books, this one pretty well nails it. I loved this book. Sometimes I'm not totally sold on books that have a ton of different perspectives since some come out less well developed than others, but the length of the novel is an advantage here, since each perspective character is given a lot of breathing room. I really grew to care about the cast, and I genuinely did not see some of the twists coming, which is pretty rare for me.
