I just don't know what to think. Do not read this book if your are Christian.(I do not know how the book wasn't already banned.)
The prose was really whimsical and detailed: every paragraph was as worth reading and necessary.
The entire ride was just so emotional: Lucifer felt so "human", his struggles and questions and just his character we as so well written.
I really bound with the characters

“i waited for your touch to save me.”
there are no words to explain the masterpiece of this book is, i can try, but i’m afraid i won’t do it any justice. i desperately need every word this book engraved deeply into my bones. the intense amount of joy and pain I felt while witnessing the rise and fall of lucifer is unlike anything i’ve ever read or felt before.
the themes of identity, religious trauma, sexuality, desire and doubt were portrayed in this novel so perfectly. not to mention the prose was so lyrical and hauntingly beautiful.
i fear this book has rendered me speechless. just know that i will read anything rafael nicolás writes 🤲🏻

author has a really good way of describing things and made me nauseous when i had to read about the self harm and violence. the beginning is kinda slow but i still enjoyed it. at times it was hard to understand bc their was very little indication of a pov switch but u get used it after a while
left me with a lot of questions at the end like
i guess i’d have to read the second book to find out perhaps. overall i enjoyed it
