rafael nicolás is the perfect author in my eyes. everything he writes is exactly what i like. angels before man is my favourite book of all time for sure, and so i knew this wouldn't beat it, but it's still the easiest 5/5 rating ever. simply perfect. the way rafa interprets biblical events and characters is exactly the same as the way i do, which of course makes my reading experience even better.
i absolutely adore samyaza and azazel, as individual characters and when they interact with each other. though lucifer is very much like me, extremely like me if i'm being honest, samyaza and i also have some similarities so i cherished him from the start. and azazel is just precious. absolutely love him. he kind of reminds me of my partner.
i did not like armoni, but that actually makes me like this book more. it's honestly great character work! armoni is not a fan of lucifer, and i find lucifer extremely relatable, so it makes sense i wouldn't be the biggest fan of armoni. great. speaking of lucifer, he's less me in this book than the first one, but that does kind of make sense since falling from heaven naturally does things to one's psyche.
rafael describes my gender perfectly as well. yes, i'm a boy the way an angel is often perceived as one. angelgender or something. god bless!
