And things gather nearer to the, er, crux, in this ninth volume of the Lucifer series, in which Lucifer himself is Sir Not Appearing (Very Much) In This Book, but at least we advance the plot line left hanging at the end of the seventh volume, and learn what Lilith's been up to for the last quite-some-time. It's also fun to watch what sanity the angels may have possessed at the beginning of it all unravel with increasing rapidity.
...I don't actually have much to say about this, I'm afraid, though I am enjoying the series immensely. Looking forward to the next two volumes, and to finishing the thing up.
