Status Updates From Our Lady of the Artilects

I had been wondering about something in particular, something fairly big in terms of theme, and boom, one of the main characters dives right into it.
Perfection.

There was a shift in the story/scope that I can't quite put my finger on, but it hasn't detracted from my enjoyment.

I found a used physical copy of this book in a bookstore, and picked it up immediately.

This book.

It is so refreshing that the story so far develops in Nigeria, with a few scenes in the Vatican and Vienna for the token western locations.
