Angels Before Man by rafael nicolás
4.0
There was a lot about this I really liked. I think it was utterly compelling exploration of a figure who we feel we know so well, and I loved watching the corruption of God’s favourite. As a queer person who grew up in a Catholic school, the realisation of what God really is in relation to you was so relatable and the anger that Lucifer felt at being punished for loving someone above God was so interesting. I think the writing style was great for the most part, although parts near the end were a little confusing, the way love was shown in different ways without using words like romantic and platonic was done very well. It was a really interesting exploration of religion and morality, and a morally grey - albeit very dark grey - character. It didn’t quite cure me in ways I expected it to, but it fed me hatred for God in a way that I needed.
