I feel like us readers know a little two much and it takes away from some of the shock factor. I get the feeling that TJR is showing us everyone's povs to make all the characters feel more rounded, but I dont think its working properly

Made it half way, we better stop going back in time

To be completely honest this book is feeling harder to finish then To the Lighthouse. These characters feel so flat, so far it feels that the only thing that gives then depth is their trauma. So far theyre lacking the ability to surprise the readers in the way that rounds them, because so far everything that might be surprising we found out while being introduced to them. However im also not even half way. through
