main characters: deeply sensitive clearly autistic demon girl (immense), traumatized self-hating barista (scrupulosity-pilled), self-loathing youngest daughter (recognizable), [these three have a polyamorous romance arc]. and the angel jibril (loud in every way, clearly based on the guy from the quran).
minor characters: shitty family members (ubiquitous), god (hot)
favorite chapters: "welcome to jibrew" "it's probably a pretty bad idea" "the impossible" favorite epigraph: I am more than I am
[spoilers]
I enjoyed the interlude-like focus of this book on developing and then revealing the concept of there being gods other than God, and the fact that simultaneously this is a) basically unheard of and unimaginable to the characters, too unheard of to even be taboo or silenced b) that God also doesn't know about this, c) this is a BIG deal that complicates the entire theological basis for the world d) but not because there's any convenient villains or antagonists to oppose it or try to maintain the status quo.....while the plot itself is largely relatable and more broadly appealing, the worldbuilding stuff that's set up for the next book is really allergic in a cool way to hitting any recognizable tropes at all, let alone in ways that basically anything else does (at least when it comes to writing from the USA or UK).
