Huh. I read this one at the same time I was reading another book, so the fluidity of this one got lost on me, I think. I had a hard time keeping the trials and pacing PDF the novel in my head. That said, I loved the imagery of the novel. Nothing was predictable to me, which I appreciated. The idea of an actual railroad is interesting. 
 I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that one part of the book I really appreciated was the second to the last section. I feel sad that Cora didn't get to know, but to let her know would have changed the situation. So, although I don't like it, it was the right choice.
