My favorite part about writing this is that I not only know Jacob, to some degree, but I got to discuss my theories of his book with him (they will not be included in this writeup). Even more fun was that Jacob seemed not only to indicate that my theories were correct, but he seemed to appreciate that I was able to discern the nuances of his story. The following is a quick review of Jacob Nordby’s The Divine Arsonist.
