Pushing into the home stretch!

Not sure I believe people were calling influenza "H1N1" in 1918...

Sidenote but I don't feel the Titanic reference a great choice, even as backstory. It's possible to have characters with ties to multiple historic moments (ex: Robert Lincoln), but exercising restraint in HF keeps the reader focused.

Was nose deep in the Irish Civil War and boom, Thomas Andrews wandered into my imagination looking lost and confused. 😂 #mytwocents

Pacing is a little slower than I think it needs to be, but I'm flying through this.

Mullen dedicated the early chapters to action in and around the GPO. The history junkie in me loves it, but I wonder if the descriptions would strike those less familiar with the material the same way.
