I tried reading Karen Miller's book Empress and ended up having to stop due to how much I hated the main character. Cut for rant and potential spoilers. )

This thing stands only as an extremely long-winded questioning of what it means when a person commits all kinds of atrocities in the name of god—and with that god’s approval. I’ve got an answer. It means that world would be a shit place to live. It also doesn’t make for a good story—at least not with that person as the supposed protagonist. This book is definitely one to pass by.
