2.5
The premise of the book felt novel, albeit steeped in well known tropes. Our mail character Lore felt somewhat flat, I found it difficult to parse out her personality, though her shining characteristics in the end were surprising.
I enjoyed the religious overtones of this book, with experts of texts beginning each chapter.
I made a note of each time a character was explicitly described as white, which I count was at least 8 times. Only one other character was described otherwise. It felt awkward and overt to call out each time, especially with insignificant characters. There is no diversity in this book.
