A review by piierrote
Angels Before Man by rafael nicolás
2.5
i wanted to love this book so bad cause it’s RIGHT up my alley. I love queer angels and i love exploring christianity through a queer perspective.
However, i fear this is another book of interesting concepts with less refined execution. it’s not a terrible book, by any means, but rather a book where i didn’t exactly get hooked in. i struggled immensely with lucifer as a character, and often the other angels too. I felt very little when negative things happened to them, and didn’t always feel like the developing relationships made sense. at times it felt like relationships and connections were made for the sake of it. this book felt juvenile, and i may have enjoyed it a few years ago, but it just didn’t hook me at my age now. i felt like the book lacked teeth and the characters lacked an emotional maturity.
the giant angel orgy was sick as hell though.
