I have to say that, unfortunately, I am not enjoying this book nearly as much as the first one. I loved the "false utopia" of the 1st novel, but this 2nd novel feels more like a transition novel, which is the trap that a lot of series/trilogies seem to fall into. I want to read the 3rd novel to see if it gets back to a feeling more like the 1st, so I'm still pushing through to the end of this one.

This has gotten so much better & very suspenseful.

I'm really savoring this book. I absolutely love Buzz's very detailed account & personal take on one of history's greatest & most memorable accomplishments.

I've figured out what it feels like. That jarring feeling of quickly jumping around among four different time periods. It feels like being in a manual car with someone who doesn't know how to drive a stick, and it keeps stopping & starting. It can't really *get going* or pick up any momentum. And it surely doesn't feel smooth! That's what the first ten chapters have felt like so far.
