4.0
Alright, this book played with my emotions in the most disrespectful of ways. I also didn’t appreciate the fact that it caused a lot of my religious trauma, that I had spent years blocking out of my memory, to resurface but you know what? It’s fine. I’m fine.
God damn (literally) this was fantastic. The writing was beautiful and captivating. At no point in this book did I find myself bored (which is something I usually experience at least once during a story) and each time I went to the next page, I had absolutely no idea what to expect (in the best way possible).
I loved being able to see a different side of Lucifer than the one I’m often used to being presented in media. Being able to see him from creation all the way to his fall from Heaven was a journey I won’t easily forget. There was one part that I wasn’t entirely in love with but that was soon overshadowed by the following chapters (I had a lot of anxiety!) The last chapter was a bit of a disappointment for me personally. The entire story I was anticipating Lucifer’s fall and it just didn’t quite meet the expectations. Felt a bit like the entire building of Michael and Lucifer’s relationship was almost for nothing. For now it’s getting 4 stars but that could easily change in a few days. I think I’m still trying to process everything.
