So far.. not great. The establishment of the characters in the beginning was fine and held much potential, but the plot progresses at such a rapid pace that the characters who gave little indication of their religion suddenly become puritans and also fifty years old. Given I have not finished the book, this could change. I don’t feel like I’ve been given enough to care about the characters or setting.
