Finished!
I had issues when Ben popped up. I went back and reread what came before and skimmed ahead to try and figure out what was going on because it was very confusing to me. As others have commented, the voices of Jacob and Ben were similar.
I reacted negatively to Michaela as well, I felt she interrupted Jacob's communication with me. A reader jealous of someone else getting into the character's head? Perhaps. Mostly I didn't care about Michaela or Ben, I was emotionally invested only in Jacob. I ended up skimming most of Ben's history, rushing to the end once Jacob was gone.
The language in the book was beautiful and soothing, without it the horrors of the story would have been hard to take. Gotta run, off to visit the mountains, I'll be thinking about this book for a while longer, I don't think it's all sunk in yet.
