This was a really slow read. The second half of the book was much better so I did end up enjoying the story overall. Some of my favorite parts were the stories about the creation of the the universe/angels like the story of Uriel. I wish we had gotten more of this rather than some of the more frivolous parts about Lucifer discovering Heaven/simple things. I also enjoyed the questions this book raised about God, the meaning of life, and what sin truly means.
