Angel before man got me... it really did. A queer retelling of Satan's fall from Heaven... yea I'm interested. I'm there. 

I now wish I wasn't there. 

This book had a lot of needs. 

The main need was that this book needed Love and Compassion from an editor. I say this as someone with the most basic level editing skills. There is POV switching that I thought was a glitch, and I was about to complain to Amazon until I read other readers reviews. 

My next issue is that “fade to black” SA scene... HUH. Yes I heeded all the content warnings, so I knew it was coming. And yet I was very unprepared. If you've read my iPad shenanigans you know what's up. 

Now one thing I appreciated about this book was the world building. I love a book where I can visualize the setting the MC is in. This author has way with descriptions that didn't feel excessive or overwhelming while reading and I appreciated that.

Will get back to. It's good so far, but I'm not in the mood right now. 

:/ I mean... it's alright.

😩 Just restarted my whole obsession with Gravity Falls. 

Whew... this was a read. 

I've been so in to fantasy/sci-fi books lately and this scratched an itch I had to blend magic and technology together in such a satisfying way. 

Don't be fooled this book is not YA. I'm not sure why I thought it was 🤣. This book is dark and goes into detail about the violence the aspirants go through. If you are looking for a book to transition you from YA Fantasy to Adult Fantasy this is the one. 

Our FMC Ikenna is very impulsive in her actions. Of course not thinking about the consequences, but every step of the way she is hit with circumstances that force her to reflect on her actions. It was actually very refreshing to know that she isn't just this hot headed vengeful kid, but that she understands that her actions not only affect her but everyone else around her. 

Overall, I think this was a great debut that dealt with racism, grief, and revenge! I can't wait for book two this year :))
