What if you loved someone to the point of creation? What if the two things that were forbidden to you in the whole world were creation and loving someone more than The Creator?
Rafael Nicolás has written a phenomenal love story between Lucifer and Michael. I found myself giggling and having to put the book down from the things they were saying to each other. They also expertly weaved a sense of dread throughout the book - God can see all, of course, and the one thing He asks of His angels is complete and unending obedience and worship. This is a book that had me stretching out the last few chapters because we all know this ending. The friendships, the side characters, and even the last notes of hope in the last chapter were excellent, and it was a real treat to read.
This book is self-published, so there was some odd formatting, typos, and a few moments where it kind of dragged. That didn't take away from my enjoyment of the characters or story, but it did mean I had to occasionally re-read paragraphs to make sure I understood what was going on.
4/5 - would recommend.
