The theme is mostly about medieval scheming and fighting within a strict theocracy, taking place on another planet populated by humans and demons, some of whom can 'jump' (i.e teleport). There is a central sci-fi mystery that is slowly revealed as the story progresses and is solved pretty satisfactorily by then end, an ending that mostly works and ties everything up nicely.
Probably more like 3 stars, but I have to give credit for the thought out sci-fi mystery that follows through to the end.… (altro)
