I edited my rating to 5* a few months after finishing because I heard someone talk about it and remembered how great this book was, so I feel that is worthy of a 5* rating. Few books can evoke that kind of reaction from me.
Also check the content warnings - there are a few.

a really compelling premise, and king's dedication to the research and narrative intricacies is impressive. that being said, the protagonist is so endlessly irritating, to the point i was actively rooting against him. too much time spent on the romance plot. missed opportunities to play more with the time travel/harmonization of the past aspects that are the most interesting parts of the novel, and the result of the assassination
