Pew

Got halfway and then skipped to the end because I couldn't take the pace. Heavy foreshadowing, building suspense? Felt like it was dragging.  The author was skillful in demonstrating all the ways a close knit conservative, religious community can also be intensely narrow-minded and hypocritical, but that doesn't feel like new information. The cult-like aspects, perhaps. Still on the lookout for agender rep as main plot.
