5.0

Normally I hate books that jump around chronologically, it usually feels like a gimmick that serves no purpose. But this book did it very effectively.  I loved every single part of it.  The characters, the history lessons, the mystery, and the book connecting all of them.  Warning that there is a lot of trauma to digest.
