Found the world intriguing and am looking forward to read more about it.
The discussion around beliefs and religions is overall well done.
However, the main character is too steeped into remorse and feeling guilty, specially at the beginning and her obsessing about this that and the other without any physical basis is, well, what it is, and I simply do not think that characters feeling guilt ever makes a good story and luckily, the character eventually breaks away from it.
