4.5

Took my breath away, and I could easily see this rating going up in the future. Upon first reading, I found the Waddah al-Yaman story hard to jump into, but with the context of Adam’s memories, the connections would make much more of an impact. Truly awe-inspiring and gasp-inducing everyone needs to read this now.
