This book was good, but for something which everyone described as “lush” and “evocative”, it was not lush or evocative enough. I was let down somewhat by the descriptions. 
That said, the character development is excellent, I was never bored, and would highly recommend if only to wonder about faith and how different people respond and react to it. Very well written overall, but I wonder about the marketing and would most likely have rated it higher if it had been presented to me in a different way.
