I really enjoyed this book. Some passages were a bit slower, but in general I enjoyed the switching of timelines.
The end wasn't quite satisfying for me, but there wasn't really much more to add.
It was full of interesting references, so I will consider reading up on those.
A "funny" coincidence was that, during finishing the book, I knocked over a big cup of tea and spilled it all over my leg (on the first day of my summer holiday!).
