They didn’t even know how to pray! The author blamed this on their being ‘cerebral’ in their approach. But seriously, isn't three years a long time to remain blank?Not if they had other interests, like girls or women. It is said that a deep focus only on the Cupids Arrow could cancel other vital functions. Perhaps, this created the blank. Thank you for your original review, but I think I'll skip this one.
And I guess it's possible... Hormones can cancel neurons, I suppose.

My very thoughts exactly. You don't make something so unappealing then turn it around the last minute. What stays is more the unappealing!Lunastella wrote: ↑17 Sep 2019, 08:47 I understand the need to bring to light the flaws of the members of the clergy. I think it's important to society. But if the author wanted to achieve this, he should've created a much more believable and compelling narrative. Not all stories have to be page-turners and I understand as readers sometimes we suspend disbelief but the points you make about prayer, ADHD, etc. make it seem like a lack of attention to detail from the author.
Thank you for your very honest review but I'll skip this one.
Thanks for stopping by and giving feedback.
