2.75

It earned the 2.75 stars solely for having a premise that has never been done before. But this book just didn't deliver. The writing is decent, but the characters act and and talk weirdly (and not because they're nuns). The whole book is slow, and the promise for the rebellion dragged on for so long and once they started the "real" rebellion, it barely lasted for more than a few chapters. The ending was unsatisfactory as well.
