I thought this was really good. It takes a hot second to get going, but I think it’s worth sticking with it. My favorite parts of the book are the Mayfair files section and the ending. For a small section towards the end of the book I felt a strong sense of dread and I wish this was more prominent throughout the book, especially the ending with how the end is sort of open. That might of just been me, though. Considering the contents of the book and repeating history/foreshadowing, I probably should have felt more dread.
Another thing I really liked was when Michael realized he had become “the man.”
