3.5 upped to 4
Not a light or entertaining story but thought provoking and well plotted even if a bit too slow in the first two parts.
We are in a world where something happened and we are in a desert where violence is quite common.
Religion and fanatism are a way to survive and Magdala is trying to read a holy town (Las Vegas) and be healed.
It took me ages to read to the third part and it felt like a different book because it's the most interesting and fast paced part.
The apocaliptic background is interesting but some more details would help.
Be patient and you will be rewarded.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
