A review by annotatedbibliophile
Angels Before Man by rafael nicolás
5.0
“Devour me like a pomegranate and stain your tongue.”
I have been sitting here on my bed, speechless, trying to form coherent thoughts to write this review. Normally, when I loved a book with all my soul, I can do nothing but talk about it. But with Angels Before Man, it robbed my words, my tongue, my very thoughts from me. I can not properly tell you how much this book meant to me. How it’s beautiful metaphors, flowery prose, and sickly sweet divinity changed me. I too, changed with Lucifer, I had my own metamorphosis while reading this book. Every emotion was portrayed so vividly that I felt it in my own flesh. The love, betrayal, blood-thirsty revenge, the heartbreak, even insanity. Each page, paragraph, sentence, and word was placed so intentionally and perfectly that I could not help but fall in love. It’s language cut into my skin, left vivid marks across my back, cut so deeply it will stay with me forever. A surgery would not be able to remove how deeply it is ingrained into my flesh and organs. Just like the quote, I devoured this book, let it stain my tongue and mind for eternity.
