I adored the authors note
it really set the scene for the entire story with its tongue in cheek poke at
God and religion but with a definite "is it/isn’t" element.
However, I did not enjoy the sex
scenes as felt they were not needed as the same outcome of disgust could have
been achieved with a different antagonist.
The pace is very fast in the middle
and could almost hear the author narrating this to me, I did go back and reread
a few pages.
At first I hated the
ending as I felt it was a cop out, then I let it roll around for a few days as
this story kept creeping back into my thought I enjoyed it more and implanted
my own meaning into various points. I can only assume this was the authors
intention with his original notes regarding asking questions.
I do think it could have
been a longer book with more follower’s stories and linkage to The Book (ala
IRW in Final Winter) but I believe this is Kit Powers first novel and its a
clever piece of writing, with some impressive thought provoking comments.
I have enjoyed KPs short
stories in the Hells Gate anthologies.
