This was my first biomythography. Parts of the story were rich and sad and emotional, but overall it was hard for me to keep up with all of the characters despite the family tree. Some sections were in 2nd person, and unless someone spoke to that person by name, you were unsure of who the section was about. 

Thank you to the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
