Excellent

The writing is brilliant.

Good Writing, Good Plot

The book has three stories from different times with small references to the past ones. Each one also kind of ends with an open ending where it might be a happy ending or a sad ending and that's up to you. The book also taught me a bit about Hawaii, which was really interesting. But what I really enjoyed was the last story where there are two time lines and you slowly see how they intertwine. It also gives a bit of perspective to issues that arise with sudden deadly disease epidemics and government corruption and stuff. All in all, the writing is really good and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
