Review: Short Fable Assumes Reader Knows Biblical History Thoroughly

I don't know much about Biblical history, particularly the part where Lucifer is expelled from Heaven.  This short fable, which can be read in one sitting, assumes that the reader has a deep familiarity and fascination with the struggle of angels during early Biblical history.  For the reader who doesn't know such learnings well, this book can have one feel lost, like a stranger eavesdropping upon a conversation of three friends who have known each other for years.As for the writing, some passages are beautifully written, but this is not always consistent.  The writing is formal, and sometimes stilted, which seems appropriate given the rigor sometimes found in Biblical teachings.I don't know enough about the Bible to discern if this version of Lucifer is controversial or not.  At the very least, it makes me wonder about the original story of Lucifer, and to seek a brief version of the official line in the Bible about what happened to Lucifer.
