The arc of the main historical character (Antonio Sonoros) is action packed and interesting. It’s definitely the most compelling part of the book. The modern arc is slower and seems to have a lot more internal focus. I think the whole book could have just been the historical arc and it would’ve been as good if not better, but the last chapter finally ties the two together and does a decent job justifying the modern arc. I just think it could have been more compelling or interesting earlier. Over all an enjoyable and unique story.
