This turned out to be more exciting than it started off to be. I had really enjoyed _The Oath_, but this one was more... preachy. There were tangents, off-shoots and rants that gave much of the book a rather negative air. And to be perfectly honest, I don't know that I had enough religious knowledge to keep up with all of the church politics in the beginning. Not to mention the fact that I had thought that the Pentecostals were not only the sect that spoke in tongues, but that handled snakes as well... I don't know, the rather heavy-handed sections weighed the book down - like the constant repetition of what a sin it is to smoke, for example - that just started to become offensive. Not to mention the comments and the implied position on some of the other religious groups... Still, the plot was pretty exciting and the twist was interesting, although the romance fell flat.
