I am about 50% complete now. It seems that the book is going to follow a timeline something like A, C, B, D rather than a chronological A, B, C, D. I found that a little confusing in Part 2 when it jumped ahead and then only hints at things that happened in the past. It appears the missing links are going to be presented in Part 3 now. It's not immediately obvious to me the benefit of why she has structured the book in this fashion. However maybe it will be once I read the second half!
