The book was good with enough going on and good prose that moved relatively fast. I loved the two viewpoints and how it switches between them. I think it should have stayed as just the two viewpoints as I did not find the other viewpoints of any good especially not Eleanor, it was just annoying. Could have been a bit shorter too as the ending felt like it was dragging.
