i thought i wouldn’t enjoy this book due to the religious aspect of it, but it definitely pulled through in the end. the major plot twist was predictable (to me), though i think it was resolved well. i think that everyone who “sinned” in this book got what they deserved, and i’m glad cade (mostly) realised that he was brainwashed and his (re)actions to things were because of said brainwashing. i think that the aspect of caring for someone who is neurodivergent could have been written better. i ran into the issue of thinking some bits of that side of the book were very “sob story” like.
