Pretty good! I waffled between 3 and 4 stars. Ultimately settled on 3 because even though I enjoyed reading it and I'll happily recommend it and I'm glad the library had it available... I might not want to devote part of my limited book fund to having a copy at home, at least not right now. 
 The world this story is set in is actually fairly believable for a fantasy world. Even though at first the magic system seems illogical by the time the book is done the reader (and characters) have learned how to make sense of it, which is a big plus (I hate completely random, inconsistent magic systems). 
 The whole religion thing was... I don't know, a little much for me, and though I'm sure there's some kind of underlying social commentary on how religion works in the real world I basically didn't feel like trying to parse it out -- but ultimately this is another plus, because the story stands just fine if you want to give it the kind of shallow/fun reading I did, but if you want to do some serious subtext examination you can do that too.
