Most of this book I truly enjoyed. It got theological, political, and philosophical, which I loved. However, there were moments that dragged. There were also things that happened that were thrown in a conversation later that didn’t really make sense…some scenes that felt thrown together. Overall, I mostly enjoyed and I’ll be reading the next in the series.

I truly enjoyed and appreciated this book. As an educator, I feel like I learned some things reading it, and am walking away really thinking on some important things. Keep the tissues close! I cried at least 3 times!
