I can appreciate the gore and some of the suspense in the novel. Unfortunately, the writing lacks subtlety. There is a romantic subplot that is particularly painful to read, with a female character who acts as the epitome of the "Horny Hypocrite" in literature (The writers go out of their way to discuss how the character isn't swayed by men, but the minute the "hot" army guy comes in, her character turns into a pile of goo and spends way too much time obsessing over him). I also feel that the discussion related to religion and Christianity is forced. It reminded me of the "Transformers: The Last Knight" film. In that film, it states that the Transformers were involved in the Legends of King Arthur, and in freeing the slaves in America, to name a few ridiculous examples. In this book, both the good guys and the bad guys are thrust into history in far-fetched scenarios.
