I really enjoyed the start, but I think it tripped over itself at the end.
It is so bizarre to have the entire book be like 'The church is wrong and is using its dogma to oppress women' and then A) not really address the fact that the religion is inherently like that (father = good, mother = bad), and B) have them be absolutely right about the witches being unredeemable evil.
