I enjoyed this book, overall. I found the writing graceful and poetic. Excellent narration.
Where it fell short for me was the lack of tension in the plot. It seemed like there was such ripe opportunity for more interesting encounters and each time one seemed to be around the corner, the author simply didn’t feel the need to capitalize. An example was the interactions with the priest near the beginning. I thought for sure that his odd demeanour would lead to further conflict, but he was never heard from again.
Great writing, solid character development, but lacks an engaging plot.
