Historia
The Left Hand of God is the story of 16-year-old Thomas Cale, who has grown up imprisoned at the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, a fortress run by a secretive sect of warrior monks in a distant, dystopian past. He is one of thousands of boys who train all day in hand-to-hand combat, in preparation for a holy war that only the High Priests know is now imminent.

I'd give it a B- or a C+

It was an interesting story but I am not the biggest fan of the third person omniscient writing style. I wouldn't say the writing was bad (though it could be a little cringe at times) it just wasn't my style. I don't like the convenience that it gives where information can be thrown at us without former explanation or build-up. There are many times in the story where something would happen for plot convenience and there would be an immediate explanation as if the author had just thought of the idea, put it in the story, and then had to justify it to themselves. It just felt a little cheap at times. That's my biggest criticism of this book. This isn't really criticism but more of a statement but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is religious. It feels like the author has some sort of vendetta against Christianity as how closely it resembles the faith yet how cruelly it portrays its believers. I personally didn't have a problem with it but I can see how it could really rub people the wrong way. I think it would have been a wiser choice by the author to distance themselves from modern day faiths and come up with something more original and still keep that cruelty.

Never Been More Frustrated
Revisado: 05-10-19
All I can say is how annoyed I was throughout the whole story. Extremely disappointing as I really enjoyed the first book, but this just pissed me off. It's also finals week so that might have played a part in my annoyance, but my opinion still stands.
