I was impressed with the plotting on this, the back story and present story kept in tight sync with each other, with no sensation of one being padded or trimmed to come out with the same number of "beats" as the other. Too, even though the present-day story is much quieter than the (not at all subdued!) backstory, it wasn't overshadowed by the other, and the reveal of Victor's fate carried all the narrative weight it needed to, despite it being in the "quieter" storyline.
(Although I do keep trying to finagle a reprieve for poor Victor; I have fond feelings for the canon version of the character. It could be someone else's body in the flower bed, right? It was never actually said, so...)
Altogether, this was a compelling read, and you were never afraid to commit to what you had set out to do.
