This book was one that checked off all of the boxes for a book I'd enjoy. Intriguing religious/mythological based magic, love with a time limit, and a badass main character who's going against bigotry and the societal standards of their time period/world to do what they have to. The setting, the tone, and the descriptions of places or the magic or photography were so interesting and fleshed out. I picked this book up for the lesbian relationship, and despite how intense the plot got, it was so sweet and caring.

Picked this up for the last prompt of my reading challenge and I loved this, so much packed in such a tiny book in terms of genres and world building. It hooked me even though I barely understood any of the magical universe but it turned out I didn’t really needed that understanding because it came along the way; so not sure if it was all specific to this story and written to be mysterious, or wether it was actually accessibly written for readers with entry-level knowledge on wizardry people and - not unimportantly - the bible. These demons and angels were surprisingly worthless however, all withholding information that could save some precious time. Interesting little ride with a pretty but bittersweet ending.
