is 90% done
Really mad at this book. Amazingly shallow.
Opening idea of teen suicide plague is powerful - then it just stops.
Second 1/2 of book is civil war fantasy, very implausible.
Religious plot is hard to parse. Openly religious, w/ "Prophet" (named Paul), calls to God, some fantasy-ish manifestations, but zero content, no rules, myths, etc.
Almost done and regretting reading it.
