Ok so really early on in this, I wasn't sure how I was going to like this book BUT after the story started building and characters became interesting, and things started making a bit more sense, I can't help but feel like this book grabbed me and pulled me along with it. I didn't expect a lot of what happened and I will leave it at that because I don't really feel like doing the whole spoiler tagging at the moment.
Characters: wow!
Story: hits a bit close to reality at times, but holy shit that was great!
Setting: reminded me a bit of the early Assassin's Creed games with Desmond's present-day timeline but with some Tom Clancy-esque fact/reality bending to get to the place that was needed for this story to make sense as it was told.
I want to buy the physical book to have on my shelves (aka trophy storage). Very happy about this one. Read it. It's worth that much at least.
