This story was very slow in the beginning and the characters were never fully developed. It lacked depth and continuity. The "love stories" muddled the basic premise of the story (if there indeed was one)and seemed very out of place.
The Christian message was non-existent and the references to "faith" and "grace" seemed to be just thrown in to try to make it a "Christian" novel. Fortune telling, talisman and magic were all presented in the story as messages from God.
This novel is not a good example of literature, Christian or not, and I do not recommend it.
