Phoebe, the main character, is a free spirit and a bit scatterbrained; but it's she who the cult is impressionable. Perhaps the poetic style of prose and multiple points of view were necessary to connect the two, but it made the book slow to digest. It became readable much later, but the author R.O. Kwon didn't disappoint; I finished The Incendiaries well satisfied.
Readers of The Incendiaries might be interested in This Life or the Next by the Norwegian Demian Vitanza.
