A
preacher named Requiem is disliked by his new church in Wonderville. For six
months they’ve been trying to kill him. They haven’t succeeded and he doesn’t
want to leave. He figures he just needs to prove himself until the day Dangit
the Deacon comes to him and tells him to leave or Dangit will have to kill him.
In the course of the conversation the preacher finally learns that the
congregation doesn’t like him because of his unusually large Adam’s apple. He
decides to give them what they want. He leaves. But in leaving he discovers a
new purpose when he hooks up with the Broken Throated Advocators. Now, he just
needs to find Eden
Rollins
is the master of goofy stories. Everyone has a weird name and the situations
are even weirder. But there is a bit of a message here amongst the goofiness.
Requiem is rejected because of the way he looks and for no other reason. How
shallow can people get? Ok, I get that he has an Adam’s apple the shape of
something a boy has but a girl doesn’t (I don’t even want to imagine that),
making it hard to concentrate on his sermons, but still…shallow much? Anyway,
the story ends after Requiem meets the Broken Throated Advocators and he
believes he is given a mission to find Eden
Thanks for the great review!! Yeah, another nibble! And you don't have to worry. there aren’t any coconuts, unladen swallows or killer rabbits coming up in the later books. :)
