obviously I've been reading this on and off for the last couple of months but... i mean it's alright
most works deal with the queer experience and put it through a lens of religion and obviously angel symbolisms
what i loved most and expected was biblically accurate angels, which did appear in multiple stories and if given the chance would probably give 5 stars
on the other end, i was very obviously taken aback by the smut. not judging at all, my personal reads are public knowledge, but it was definitely unexpected and a little jarring
that was actually the reason why i had stopped reading the anthology for a while, but i got back into it so!!
i have to admit, i definitely think all the works were beautifully written and were individually enjoyable, depending on what you are in the mood to read, plus, the presentation was handled remarkably in my opinion.
all that considered, there isn't a concrete reason that i am giving it a 3💫 rating, apart from the way im feeling. considering that i know for a fact some stories will stick with me for a while, while others i have completely forgotten by now, leads me to this conclusion.
hats off to all the wonderful authors and artists that contributed and i hope to see more from them in the future!!
