Is this a "religious" book?
Dinah There are just enough references without making it preachy. A good wholesome story with just enough characters to keep things moving. Charming.

As someone that isn't religious, do the religious references ever get overbearing or preachy as the series goes on? These are the types of books I like to read between my epic fantasies but I'm not wanting to have stuff crammed down my throat.
