I think the theme of this book is: it was just fine. I ended up requesting this book because I hear a lot of praises sung about Craig DiLouie and previously I had attempted to read Episode Thirteen (but pretty promptly DNF'd it). So I saw this and thought what the hell, I'll give this author another go.
Despite being I believe the target audience in the preferred demographic for this book I just came away thinking "meh". It just never blew my wig off, you know? The pacing was okay, I guess. The characters all had a "thing", I suppose. I don't even really know what to say, this may be the most average book I have ever read. I think it's a little between We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix and Evil in Me by Brom, but not as good as either of them.
I was sitting at a 2.5 rating for this book for a lot of it, nothing really happens until about, 75% of the way in, which is just wild and the only reason I decided on that rating was because it was hilarious to me when random members of the clergy would get mowed down in the background. But I decided on a 3 star because I really did like the ending because I'm a giant softie and like a happy ending.
