I like the story and wish I knew my own lineage like this story. However, there are so many characters. I believe it is harder to keep track because I am on audiobook and not reading and seeing the spelling of the names that are unusual to me.

I have both the audio and libby kindle version. The first page of the book was a chart of the family tree of who was who in which family. Which told me there were going to be many characters to unpack here. I had referred to it a few times in the beginning to get people straight.

Interesting thought that siblings/sisters are more important because they’re blood relation vs their own kids because their spouse isn’t technically of blood relation and not as “powerful”

Same response. Im enjoying, but hard to keep track sometimes.

50% through and its really lost its pace to me with do many different people. Hoping part 2 grips me as much as the beginning did.. is it just me?

No, I have been having a hard time following it all.
