So it's just an ordinary world and end extraordinary story, told with a unique voice? Is it written in the first or third person?

Books thay cover years and years always impress me, when each and every one of those years isn't necessarily part of the puzzle.

Time jumps are hard in fiction. Does this one skips months or years, or is something always happening to keep the pacing steady?

I dislike it when perspective in story shifts suddenly to three years later and suddenly theres a whole bunch of character development or otherwise anticipated events missing.

The novel is narrated in retrospect, so while the jumps are several years, the protagonist is an adult and is recounting something that happened during his early adolescence. However, in the present, things also happen in adulthood that are linked to the past.

Cool, thank you! Sounds like an interesting way for the story to unfold.
