This is an excerpt of the full review on camilleareads.wordpress.com
As a reader, I wanted to see the mother choosing her baby over the world. I wanted her to fight fiercely for her child while That would have been far more controversial than the idea of a female messiah. Give me a protagonist who would have used Cyril’s protection to her advantage, who would have rather let the apocalypse rain down than have her child on a dangerous quest, and a woman who would have felt guilt at it, who would have argued whether she was doing the right thing or not, whether she was religious or not.
