Based singularly on the story, this is a two-star book. However, I am adding a third star for three separate reasons:
1) The fact that the author took a real chess game played by two grandmasters and used it to sculpt the book's world, characters and plot is an impressive feat, and the moves being noted at the beginning of each chapter made it possible to follow along with the game while reading the adventure story.
2) The epilogue was very well done, with the additional layer of monotheism vs. polytheism added into the war between the kingdoms of day and night, as well as the foreshadowing to future wars/chess matches.
3) The author did the cover art for the book herself.
