- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

I had no idea this was connected to Sea of Tranquility, which I listened to last year, so it was neat to return to Vincent’s story.
Like her other works, Emily St John Mandel’s writing is lyrical and hypnotic, but unfortunately this could have used some editing, especially when dealing with the players involved in the Ponzi scheme.
I don’t regret reading it, but it could have been better.
