It’s a really good use of suspense, especially given so many characters and plot points. Reid does a really good job of showing how kids feel when they grow up without a father and Nina emancipation from her obligations and lost childhood was really beautiful. All the kids learning from their parents’ mistakes so as not to become them was just beautiful. Having already read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the nods to characters and plot points was fun to see.
