As for my opinion, Cecilia is a little likable character. There are just times where I found her a little rude. Especially when she acts like a spoiled rebel daughter. I don't know about you guys, but she is somehow likable.

Did anyone else have a problem relating to Cecilia?
I did not find her very likable. She was definitely hard to get though and did not have very much redeeming about her.

she wouldn't have human flaws because she's not human, she is just in the body of a human but she's still lucifer's daughter and a creature from hell, so for her to have human attributes and character and personality couldn't match with her background, as for her being likable, I couldn't really decide weather to like or not.

I usually don't like girls who act like spoiled brats yet they use their parent's money while acting all high. But Cecilia is an exception. I like how she acts so sassy. I totally agree with her about disliking her father. Cecilia is a very likable character.

I mean there is no question that she would have character flaws in relation to the human world she has lived in hell for 201 years obviously she's not gonna be a normal 16 year old girl on earth and it would be weird if she didn't have any characteristic from hell world it's not like she was reborn she just took over a body so that was normal for me

I felt like Cecilia didn't have much of a personality. I didn't understand/see her sense of humor, her flaws, how she actually felt being in the human world. She didn't struggle the way I thought she would, never did something embarrassing, never really interacts fully with anyone other than like 4 people who all instantly love her. I wanted more from her, showing me more aspects of who she is actually instead of being told she was perfect.

Initially, I didn't like Cecilia at all, but moving on, she was seen to have accepted her wrong doings and she made efforts to become better which indicates maturity. Her character hence became much more likeable.

In the end, Cecilia seemed a bit immature to me and quite childish but this characterisation made her more relatable.

Cécilia didn't appeal to me; she has a despicable character; typically, she should be mature and wise.🤔🤔🤔

Cecelia was clearly a non human trying to exist in a human world. Her ability to mingle and relate with humans, shows the increased versatility of the character . Annoying?, Rude?, Well those are all human qualities to me. Definitely likable

Judging from the way the author wrote the book, I like Cecelia's character. Although she had flaws, I believe the flaws were there because she was trying to live with a different perspective amongst humans. I didn't have any problem relating with Cecelia.

I didn't like her that much. She was too arrogant and some of her actions weren't that mature for her age.

Despite all of Cecilia's misdeeds in this narrative, she remains an endearing character. In many instances, I admired her for being fearless, gutsy, and astute. The author has gone to considerable lengths to create Cecilia.

Although she's quite annoying, I do like her because of the few human traits her character displayed. Her evil side always takes over proving she's not human and definitely Lucifer's daughter

It’s hard to stick by if I like her character or if I dislike it because my mind changed honestly throughout the book. I liked how she learned to be a normal living human but I didn’t understand some of her motives and reasonings behind some of the things she did.I didn’t really like the way she acted when in fact she was so old in the story
