Negative Positive
Title: Very timely and enjoyable
Review: I generally avoid fantasy novels, but was assured by people I trust that this one was different and well worth reading. I now heartily agree. What I most appreciated was the thorough discussion of somewhat similar faiths differing in one flavor offering convert or die as its only argument, with others (and secular alternatives) seeking Truth, rather than only victory. This has obvious relevance to our own world, as does the idea of one culture being briefly so powerful and advanced that it feels able to ignore threats better not ignored.
Is the review positive or negative?
