Status Updates From St. Patrick's Gargoyle

It's very christian :/ which is fair, its setting is in ireland, but.. hm. Also Templeton saying, that woman can sew and iron the vestments of the priest, but can't be priest themself .... oh fucking hope he doesnt say similiar shit again, because the gargoyle has good arguments against it, but otherwise this is going to be a one star.

very curious to see if anything ever actually happens in this book

So, the gargoyles had their conclave, the situation with the head was explained, they came up with a plan, then Paddy went to fetch Templeton, and now they’re explaining the whole situation and the plan AGAIN, this time for Templeton’s benefit. I am going insane

I have a feeling that this book could be like half its length if you take away the unrelated to the plot history lessons, the random theology discussions and the extremely detailed virtual tour of St Patrick's cathedral. Frankly, the only reason I haven't dropped it yet it's because I like Templeton and Paddy, but it's not turning out to be fun and interesting read I was hoping for.

I like the premise and the characters but there's a lot of info dumping in this book. It feels as if the author tried to cram all their research into the actual story. I'm mostly enjoying the book, but I tend to get distracted whenever the narrative takes a detour to explain some historical event or other (totally unrelated to the plot) in excruciating detail
