Was underwhelmed and honestly disappointed about how the book panned out. I liked the alternative history sections as the main character goes through each state. I felt like the chase element of the book was pretty half baked. Lots of pacing issues and a lack of character development.  Also disappointed at how little the Underground Railroad actually gets mentioned in the story
