Unnecessary use of slurs in the first 150 pages, the story felt disjointed and I did not care about any of the characters.

This novel delves into the selfishness of humanity and feelings of loss, with a smattering of supernatural elements.

Satan has long been known as the Adversary, but God fears women even more than He fears the devil -- and he is right to. She, with her power to bring life into the world, was truly made in the image of the Creator, not man, and in all ways has proved Herself a more deserving object of man's worship than Christ, that unshaven fanatic who lusted for the end of the world.

I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting something different. It's inventive, depressing, and just completely original. I was practically never bored during this entire devilish, mature, and honestly quite poetic story. I'm definitely going to read more of Joe Hill.

I personally loved this book - the experience, the characters, the story. But it's not going to be for everyone. 90% of the book is in need of content warnings lmao. But if you like dark stuff with odd humor and a loveable main character, i think you might enjoy this one.
