Sorry, I found it confusing, boring, and uninteresting. The whole idea of god being the bad guy is awful. The spectres or whatever did not improve the story one bit, except as a plot point. I didn't like that all the witches got... whatever, and it was overall unpleasant. They make out the church to be the evil one, and while I am not of that specific religion, I think that it is simply wrong. Go ahead and disagree, but I have no intention of reading the next one. The first in the series was almost interesting, but I hated this.
