I read Conclave so that you don't have to. Starts well, keeps it up for a while, abruptly descends into sloppily constructed melodrama and never recovers. Plot twists are clumsily telegraphed early on; if you're the kind of person who worked out what was happening in The Sixth Sense when Bruce Willis appeared on a park bench, the only susprises here are how cheesily it's done. Serious issues are reduced to MacGuffins. There was definitely a moment where I'd have thrown this at a wall if I had a physical copy. Disappointing.
