I feel a bit disingenuous giving this book one star, as it doesn't inspire the same amount of "why is this even published, this is a waste of paper" that other one-stars give me. However, the sheer amount of "why???" going through my head while I read this book pushed me to give it this rating. 

If religious fantasy is a thing, this fits it to a T. The entire plot revolves around divine intervention and the main character praying, which feels like a cop-out and such lazy writing. I can't figure out who this book is for because the copy-paste of Christianity with name changes isn't the type of world-building fantasy fans are looking for, and the name-changing aspect feels very blasphemous. It's so weird, and I don't know why. There's a good story in there somewhere, maybe, if the religion was unique and m,maybe had some cool commentary or something, but it's not there. Or is this book so big-brained, like this is fantasy and divine intervention is fantasy? I feel like I'm reaching, or not smart enough to understand it. 

Other reviewers have said this too, but the main character is clearly smart. You can tell this through her actions. Unfortunately, her only characterization is her weight, and her character growth goes along with her losing weight. It would have been much better if she was characterized as smart, and her weight was a fact like the colour of her hair. I think that would have bumped it up a star. 

I left this book very confused, and even after writing this, I am still quite confused. I'm glad I got this as an ebook sale. And again, I can't quite say this is a bad book, just a very confusing one.
