This book took me awhile to get through because I kept losing focus in the world building of book eaters (who were kinda like vampires but not). I didn't mind the time jumps as it allowed me to see how far the main character, Devon had developed from her small world view. Although this can be seen as a mother's love doing anything to protect her child, it combined well with the media we consume is the worldview we get.
