Cool prequel to the game, but only interesting for fans.

I'm a sucker for heist stories and not a big fan of institutionalised religion (churches) so this one had it easy to win me over.
However, the characters are a bit flat and the plot line is a little too easy to guess. Especially the ending was too easy for me to predict. But overall it's still an interesting read. the background information provided as an afterword are helpful and show the engagement of the author.
I'll see how it further develops in Volume 2 and decide then if I continue reading.
