I am a Nancy Kress fan and have read several of her books including the Beggars series. This is quite different, no really awesome science or brave new future world. A good read for someone just starting out in science fiction and not wanting too much sci-tech.
"Oaths and Miracles" transcends the genre of thriller fiction by containing characters of real depth and interest. Where most popular fiction of this type is populated by very thin characters, Nancy Kress does an excellent job of drawing the reader into her story by helping us care about the people in it.
In addition to the characterizations, the plot weaves from delicate, disparate strands into a cohesive juncture that leads to a satisfying conclusion.
If there's a weak spot, it's in the pacing of action sequences, but that's a minor quibble, and not enough for me to rate this book lower than five stars.
I read a lot, and it's very rare that I find a book I have trouble putting down, but I could not put this book down until I'd finished it.
