3.5 stars. I liked the story, and it's interesting that some of the events and timelines in this book were the same as in Passenger, which I just finished reading before starting this one.

I think what really drew me in though was that it started with his grandfather telling him stories and most of the book focused on his and his grandfather's relationship; my grandfather and I are very close in that way, so immediately I felt a connection with Jacob.
