Well if you're going to keep having them free on Audible, I'm going to keep reading them.
Although we are two for two with faith-less priests apparently attempting to build heaven on earth through good works alone so, you know, at least we've got some themes here.
Also some magic stuff in the background, which—on the one hand, WHY, but on the other hand, why not?
Actually, a lot of this book feels like it could be summed up with that sentence. Not in a bad way, just in a "this book is completely unaware that people don't usually write episodic love stories".
Also I wasn't entirely expecting to read a 2014 defense of heretical church movements, but here we are. The love story was fine, but it was by far the least interesting part of the book.
This would have been a four, but was docked a star for how it handled Aelf, the non-speaking character.
