Cale is with Redeemer Bosco again at the Sanctuary, the place he escaped from not even a year ago. Bosco acts different with Cale now, as Bosco believes Cale to be the flesh of Gods anger with humanity. After reading The Left Hand of God I wanted to read this book. I worked my way to a little over half way and still felt I wasn't getting much from the story. I found myself falling asleep while trying to read it, like I do with historical reads. I hate giving bad reviews, and I do hope others enjoy this series. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful?
