"This book takes well-worn tropes and imbues them with Akwaeke Emezi’s trademark gorgeous literary style and an inventive queer romance. Sweet Galilee takes her first steps outside her hometown of Salvation and immediately meets sexy, dangerous Lucifer – yes, that Lucifer. The third point in the love triangle is Leviathan, a prince of Hell. He has Gali in his crosshairs for reasons she doesn’t fully understand. Full of religious commentary, twisty action and steamy scenes, this romantasy was a wild ride."
