4.75
4.75 - really great book. I only took off 0.25 for plot because it didn't cover the before times and how they got to the state they were in. I think that would've made it even more interesting. I also am not super religious so didn't care too much for that aspect, but it didn't detract from the story too much. Highly recommend
