On a reread I was really noticing how incredible the pacing is. I knew there were plot beats that had to be hit and I was impressed by how economical and seem less it felt. I will say part of the ending has always felt a bit hard to follow but maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention on my commute. Once again, this book holds up.
