This is alternately shockingly modern, and weirdly old-fashioned. I found it via a China Mieville list of socialist sci-fi/fantasy, and it fits his bill: realizing The Boss is corrupt, and wanting to fix it. That story is, of course, timeless. But the angels choosing Paris to launch their revolt? A library taking a central role? And a mid-book history monologue that would make Ayn Rand blush? All... perhaps somewhat more challenging for th modern reader. Still, I enjoyed it!

“La rebelión de los ángeles” está narrada con humor e irreverencia. Mientras la leía, no podía dejar de preguntarme cómo hizo el autor para no ser censurado debido a la mordaz crítica que plantea en relación a la Iglesia Católica y al cristianismo. La primera parte me fascinó al 100%, simplemente, no podía dejar de leer. Lamentablemente, las reflexiones, aunque interesantes, terminaron pesando más que el desarrollo de la historia y eso hizo que, hacia el final, la lectura me resultara pesada y repetitiva.

Victory is a spirit. The Devil triumphant would become God, and God defeated would become the Devil.
