I have just recently found the time to really get into the book and I really like it. I see Antonio as a very young man who is years ahead of his time. He thinks and considers things that most children would not be mindful of. He has already witnessed the death of a man, and is under a great deal of pressure from his mother to become a priest. This could take its toll on such a young boy, but I believe that Ultima will help Antonio find the right path.
In reference to the last blog that was posted I do believe that Antonio has misconceptions about God, because of the way he has been raised. I know people, in my own life, who have similar misconceptions of God, seeing Him as a harsh austere God who is eager to punish every sin, and I wonder if their upbringing is not to fault.
I am eager to read on and see what has happened now that his brothers have returned and he has began school. I am also waiting to see what else unfolds in his unique relationship with Ultima.
