This was ok. Written fairly well, but I really didn't care for the pig latin variant the twins used to talk to one another -- or that Kahler felt the need to translate it each time, even though we'd long learned to read it.

A lot of the action in the first half wasn't particularly gripping for me, and I think in many cases was only inserted to pay off later revelations. I guess it felt like it was written back to front. She goes to back room poker games because
that's how they used evangelize for the Plan
. How'd she end up at the game though? Well I guess we'll give her a love interest that will
enable her sister's later betrayal
.
At Violet's behest I guess?
Because so much of the first act came off as inconsequential I really struggled to get into the book. It was a lot more interesting once
the cult stuff
entered the picture.
