This book was fascinating. I read it too slowly, and was easily distracted from it, and I'm not exactly sure why. Possibly, it was just a little too cerebral, a little too philosophical at times. The story was also broken up by some number of side-stories that may have been as few as only a couple, but might have been several more than that. And I'll admit that I got a bit lost with some of them, wondering if I'd read this character before, or if it was a new one. There were at least two distinct viewpoint characters who weren't the main character. I enjoyed all of them, but we didn't get enough of some of them to really care too much about their conclusions. There were several big reveals in this book, and I won't go into them in detail. I really liked all the ones I can remember at the moment, and I would definitely read more by this author.
