OVERALL THOUGHTS: 4.5

This was a very atmospheric read. Especially with the classical music in between chapters for the audiobook <3

The humor was what got me from the start and towards the end the book actually got more touching. It talked a lot about how people aren’t necessarily evil and I just like those books that talk about morally gray themes. I was SOLD.

I loved Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship. It was the kind of "friendship" that is unique in the way that it has lasted centuries and I was so invested in them. GAHHH I was TOUCHED!! I do have to admit that they were mostly the characters I cared about the most and I wasn't so attached to the others hehe. But I enjoyed the story nonetheless.

This may be a bit heavier read for most people but I can say that it’s worth it and thank you to Jasey and Alex for recommending this book so much because I never would have picked it up otherwise.

The audiobook is a great road to take if you are intimidated with this book <3

I'll probably watch the series then read this book again and see what I have to say hehe
