One of my favorite installments so far. This one is partially told from Elon's point of view, which again makes for a nice change of pace (I recommend reading this one after part 4), and part of it also takes place well into the future, so we get some intriguing glimpses into what Elon and Ollie are like as old men, but we still don't find out who Ollie married, or if he managed to save Wold Hall.We also get a lot more insight into Olga, since Ollie, Olga, and Elon all travel to St. Petersburg to stay with her crazy, eccentric, possibly Mafia-connected family for Christmas. All Ollie wants is a nice holiday with Olga. Instead, he's kidnapped (for the first time, he notes), and we realize what lengths Olga and her father will go to to try to "win" their fight over how should be living her life. And poor Ollie is caught in the middle...
