When you look at what author Jillian is undertaking in this book, it's quite ambitious. Not only has she created an alternative universe with elaborate world-building, but she's attempting to re-imagine a very notorious character in literature: Lucifer. Does she succeed? In part, if the show hadn't been stolen by main leading lady, Sev! Sev's character came to life as humorous, off-beat, and original, and snarky Ace was right up there, too, as a memorable character. Lucifer was more of a quiet presence v.s. Sev's actions, which isn't a bad thing, and I'm looking forward to learning more about his personality in future installments.I mentioned the world-building before. It's very intricate, so I'm glad Jillian is easing us slowly into it one book at a time. Readers will want to read very carefully, because the writing has its own quirky style, and it is easy to miss details. The plot did seem to jump a little all over the place. Luckily, the characters throw enough witticisms about that it's easy to get reabsorbed. After a climax like that, it's hard to imagine what could possibly take the stakes even higher in the next book, so I'm curious to see what crazy adventure Jillian has planned next.*I received a free copy of Wicked in exchange for an honest review*
