Picked up this book without knowing anything about it but what was written on the back of the book. I didn't know this book was so religious-heavy and Christianity inspired. There is also a lot of spirtitual symbolism involved, which I didn't expect going in. I enjoyed some part but didn't enjoy a lot of it either. My rating is based on the book itselfs but also my enjoyment while reading it. However, take my rating with a grain of salt since I am aware that I am probably not the target audience for this book.

I am not really into religious-heavy and spiritual books. That in combination with the writing and pacing of the book made this a difficult read for me. The book was quite slow, too slow in my opinion. It didn't make me want to pick it up again, but there was something in it that didn't make me DNF it either. 

I am more of a fantasy reader and I do recognise the creativity of the author to use Christian elements to form a concept and plot for their book. I found that very intriguing since that was the reason I picked it up. The book was very slow and character-driven but there were some fast-paced acrion scenes as well. Especially the last 80 or so pages were a fast and ejoyable read. I also enjoyed the characters. Each of them has certain sins, regrets, etc. and those you will slowly learn about throughout the book. The author gave each character their appropriate and unique personality. Especially Reece's 'sin' was hearthbreaking.
