Wow. I read this book before but the narration is so vivid! It’s a lot, but it’s so good.

DNFed when I got to the angel orgy part and had enough...

Really wanted to like this because I thought it would vaguely relate to Hazbin Hotel, but Lucifer constantly being described as the youngest angel made me imagine him looking like a baby faced cherub and alternately the cat in Cinderella, which made certain scenes very uncomfy. Also didn't enjoy the writing style interspersed with the characters' inner thoughts.

This is well written and has bars. Pretty descriptions of clothing, jewellery, food etc. A very soft life in the first half that they get bored of in the second.

There’s a lot of mc development of self concept and how another helps him to stop being ashamed. They’re all very trusting of each other but mc seems to feel vulnerable. Lucifer has a particular way of showing care and as his attentions drift he suffers. Then he rebels.

A new angel is ashamed of his beauty and has many questions. The parent is conditionally loving. After being

punished for something he can’t comprehend he develops dissociative identity disorder and becomes a
system of at least 4 faces.

God tells lucifer that he planted a garden inside him and is waiting for him to grow to fruition. Lucifer is told he thinks to much and asks too many questions, a lot. It’s very controlling parent vibes. He also has nightmares. He has been designed and yet he has to find his purpose.

He lives with a fruit farmer angel who has never been to Eden and seen god. Lucifer decides he is the angel of worship, he pours god wine and feeds and sings to him. It’s giving golden child. Very dysfunctional.

.

The book begins with a very soft idyllic pretty vibe. It ends in darkness-Literally. It’s not a light, easy read. Be careful if you have religious trauma. If you can read about wanting to please God and not spiral you’ll be fine. This is just a story. Idk I’m tired.
