I really enjoyed the book…right up until the last few pages. The end made little sense to me for two reasons. 1. In the end, the main character’s decision to help keep things as they were seemed misguided to me, given the repercussions and 2. If someone’s not divine, why maintain their legacy anyhow, especially at such cost? (I’m intentionally trying to be vague—I’m trying not to ruin the book for people who haven’t read it.

The Jewish history was magnificent, but I wondered if the author hadn’t done a bit too little research on Christian history.
