This book in many ways was a "battle" of religion and fanaticism. Both sides of the argument are thoughtfully brought up in Gabriati and in the end it is up to the reader to decide which side they believe is the right path for them. I love that Sreyus didn’t try and persuade the reader of his view on the subject but instead put the evidence and arguments out there for us to make up our own minds. I am glad in the end, the right guy won. The story line was engaging. I have to admit that the beginning was a bit slow paced, but as the book progressed, the pace really picked up to a point I couldn't put it down. I wanted to learn more, to know the secrets of the Brotherhood and the only way to do it was to let the story naturally unfold as I read.
