I think I can finish this one.
I would rather have full flashbacks, instead of expositive semi-flashbacks, where a character relays past events in unrealistic detail thru monologue 7 to 30 years later.
Also, I'm learning I have a soft spot for just-okay books that sprinkle bits of history/genealogy/random trivia that interest me.

I feel like this would work so much better as a miniseries

I don't know that I want to feel smarter than the book. It took us this far to finally get to the major plot point that we've been dancing around FOREVER.
I think fantastical elements in mundane modern settings may be a special kind of challenge to write.
