Forgive the video game analogy but I was going to stop at the Paradise route merely for me to pretend that Lucifer continues living his best angelic life and I could ignore the fate that happens to him from ever happening but, alas, curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see how rafael nicolás would write Satan’s Fall. To see just how bad it would be for Lucifer to get to that point. So, I read on and came out on the other side covered in blood, wailing into void. Rafael nicolás pay for your crimes. Justice for Lucifer, my baby did nothing wrong (lol)

This book is absolutely gut-wrenching… I truly have no words to explain how I feel right now. All I can say is make sure you have some tissues near. Also please make sure read the content warnings at the beginning.
