A painful read for a fascinating concept
The concept of the book was intriguing and when we get right down to the details of the action it was riveting. Sadly all of this was drowned out by "fluff". Unnecessary backstory in the middle of the action, details that did nothing to drive the story or develop the characters, and an ending that left a lot to be desired. There were many times that the author started to draw these beautiful connections to biblical or historical events and dropped them before finishing the tie in. I wanted to like this book, but I think the author might work better in conjunction with someone who can clear up his ideas and cut out the fluff.
