I loved the premise of this book - a future dystopian theocracy - and although I thought some parts could have been explained a bit more, I enjoyed it very much. The characters were likeable and the plot moved along at a nice pace. The world building was very well done, and the conclusion was satisfying.

Enjoyable read - 4/5 stars.

There Comes a Prophet by David Litwack
This is a dystopian novel of a future theocracy. In a time of strife, the world’s churches set aside their difference and compromise on a unifying religion. This religion ends up stifling all progress. This is the setting for the quest of three young people to discover the truth about their world.
In a world with out war, why would you want to make any changes. In a world without creativity why would you NOT want to make changes. The characters in this book are young, naïve and romantic. There lives are disrupted by the church and Nathaniel sacrifices himself for his undeclared love.
The evil clerics are not wholly evil as their society is not wholly wrong. There are enough arguments to provide food for thought.
This was interesting, not captivating but worth reading.
