Reading Question

Discuss the structure of the novel so far. Why has the author made the chapters and chronology in the way that he has?

I believe that the author has a reason to be skipping around and that if he did it this book would be a lot harder to read. Most of the time the thing that keeps me reading a book is cliff hangers. This book however starts off slow in the parts that are further back in time. So the author decided to skip to times in the future to make you more confused and interested as to how the characters got to that place and what changes happened. This is great because it keeps readers like me engaged and not bored of reading about the, what I consider uneventful, past in the story.
