i need these words tattooed on my organs, so when they autopsy my body all they find are these words.
“But if I were like God, I’d create a new piece of me every day for you to kiss. I’d remake myself, chasing that mouth.”
“This, this here, could be worship. ‘This—’ Lucifer pressed an innocent kiss to the prince’s sweet, divine mouth. This could be religion.”
“In vain, I love you; in vain, the dawn streaming onto you, beside me; in vain, I want to be yours, your angel. Angel of love, angel of Michael.”
“He gazed at his muscles, again, thinking a bit about how God had created Michael, lovingly carved the details — the dips by his smile, every eyelash, each curve of his knuckles, a dark freckle at his hip. Creation as an act of love.”

I liked this book!! Took a little while to get into but once I was in I was in (it was a lot more descriptive that I expected) It was Fun drama and I like how the writing style changed throughout . I loved watching the character development and Lucifer and Michaels views on god switching places 🤯
4.5 because the ending couple chapters fell a little flat for me, but that didn’t detract from the whole experience. I’ll see if I read the next ones

It has been very hard trying to word my love for this book. It just *made sense* in a way that is difficult to lay out plainly, it scratched my brain just right, and it spoke to an unattended part of myself that I had neglected. It made my heart ache in every way possible; my heart broke for Lucifer over and over again, despite knowing what would become of him.
I adored how in love with existence the angels seemed -- how the plants talked and the waters thought and how they found joy in simple, small things. And I also loved their indignance, their passion, how fully they felt and expressed and lived.
Lucifer's struggle with purpose and identity was bittersweet in its entirety -- sometimes painful, sometimes victorious, but always understood. I had expected this book to either cure my religious trauma or exacerbate it, and oddly, it had made me angrier at my own parents than at God. Then again, this book brought a lot out of me that I had not expected going in.
Overall, I was obsessed with every word and how lovely and hateful existence can be.
