"Prophets (Apotheosis #1)" by S. Andrew SwannRating: ♣ ♣ ♣
A sprawling space opera with some amazingly vivid imagery. But also heavy on exposure and with downright unlikable characters blinded by their various dogmatic faiths. When it was not the Catholic Church, it was Islam or some cooked up religion. I really, very much dislike people driven by their religion's dogmas instead of common sense. That's why the only person I liked and rooted for, was Flynn. One character couldn't save the whole ensemble, though.
To sum it up, there are some really great ideas in this book, some very exciting stuff. Unfortunately, I need more to be smitten with a book: I need characters that I love to follow. And this book offered them sparsely.
