Rating: 3/5 This is a cute book. I mainly read this as I needed something relaxing & the book did what I wanted it to do. I'm not religious at all & don't really like it, so parts of the book didn't vibe very well with me. However, there is also the gender problem. Pretty much all of the important characters in the book are men & in the rare case there is a woman mentioned it is usually because the main protagonist falls for her. One woman who gets the most "screen" time (& even then it's still only a super short part) has her personal legend implied as her falling in love with the main protagonist. Lovely... I know this book is a bit older & so I didn't factor this into my rating, but it bothered me a lot. So if you are looking for something very relaxing, this book might be for you but don't expect anything mind-blowing out of it + keep in mind when it was written. I mean who would ever think women are beings worthy of being important in media? /s
