I wanted to like this book, but I struggled through it! The change of scene every couple of chapters could have been easier to follow if they just named the main character we were following, I couldn’t find a good enough reason not to, it took me at least half the book to realise we were following the same character (I think/hope). It was sold as a sapphic book and the only reason i persisted reading was to see what happened at the end, unfortunately it wasn’t worth it! There was very little written about why or how they fell for each other so I found I didn’t really care about the romance. The world building was good and the idea of the religion made sense, but none of it was particularly detailed. Also thought the editing could have been improved

It felt a little underdeveloped at times, but honestly I had a great time so who cares.

Beautiful prose at the sentence level, let down by the choice of laying out the book in the format of a string of loosely related vignettes. I don't know anything about the main character, only a motivator driven by a very small snippet of their life.
