This book was lackluster at best. It was very addictive at the beginning, but the end was disappointing and it never really developed. I guessed the person who did it right away, but it was very unsatisfying.
Mostly because her reasons were "it's God's will" and not anything of actual substance.
It was very religious with a devote main character, rare challenges to the religion, the "it's not the religion that's bad, it's the individuals who use it for evil!" excuse, and negative portrayals of atheists. Her one character is a pile of Black stereotypes with white skin slapped on top, and the main character calls him white trash, which is played off as funny when it's just bigoted. It was an intriguing premise that did not follow through.
