Angels Before Man by rafael nicolás
5.0
So- I am EASILY influenced and picked this up solely from the cover alone.. but I’m so glad I did. This book was incredibly easy to get into, the beginning world building didn’t FEEL like world building in all honesty. The amount of times I gasped- almost cried maybe once or twice.. magnificent. Now, if you’re reading this book to see how accurate the retelling is, then you’re simply in the wrong place.
I don’t know enough about religion to comment on the accuracy, but if it’s close then I’d say it’s loose because well obviously it’s a QUEER retelling.
That being said, I really really enjoyed the character development of Lucifer from the time he was born, to finding out this is indeed NOT the first time God had created him. To finding out just how much effort God put into Lucifer. To questioning why exactly Lucifer was in so much agony- if you ask me- God may had made Lucifer a bit TOO perfect. That may be Lucifer’s downfall.. that’s my theory.
The fall of Lucifer was.. captivating. Not at all what I expected but i’m not disappointed, I’m only disappointed in the ego that resulted from it. The hurt and pain that was caused.
I was rooting for [REDACTED] and I understand why it [REDACTED] but MY GOODNESS THE AGONY.
I’m so so so looking forward to Angels and Man. Read this 5/5!!!!
