More like a 3.85

I liked it, but the sheer volume of references to God at the very beginning made me wanna throw the book away. And, especially during the exposition, it felt like a history book at points. After about 70 pages it picked up, and then it became a pretty good private adventure. The very ending was really cool and made me really happy

A fascinating blend of the real and fantastical with lots of adventure and emotion. Slow to read but it’s a pleasure not a drag, and the writing is always entertaining.
