Sharks in the Time of Saviors

A rare case of the second half of a book being stronger than the first. While I still had lingering issues, the cohesion of the multiple points of view grew stronger and I simply adjusted to the unique cadence and sensory focus of Washburn's descriptive writing and I felt, in part, transported into the Flores family's world. Still, this book missed the mark for me and as I have ruminated on it and taken in some thoughts of my fellow readers, I felt I had to adjust my rating. There is still promise there, as Washburn can clearly write.
