Because the pacing was slow at first, I found myself not wanting to pick the book up but was into it more once it sped up.
I liked learning about SF history and picturing the areas that I knew. It was also very interesting to learn more about the racism and struggles that Asian Americans dealt with during this time. While that was secondary to the story, I would have liked more.
