I have bought everything Travis Bagwell has written, and pre-ordered every book he has been putting out. I love the AO story and universe. I’ve been fine with all the characters, even the ones who I felt were stereotypical and ‘obvious’ just as Gloria. But in this book, Bagwell took it too far, in my opinion, with blasphemous language about Jesus Chris, a mockery of key parts of the bible, and taking the side of Satan over God in the garden of Eden. I’m not here to argue religion. If you agree with all that, it’s your right to do so. But I find this to be offensive on at least the same level (if not with the same response) that some Muslims do when their prophet is ridiculed. Therefore, Travis Bagwell will not earn any money from me on this book. I am really disappointed, because I love the series. But, hey, Jesus means more to me than getting to hear a cool story. And while Bagwell has every right to write his book this way, I will exercise my right to return it and move on to something else.
