I learned that I love Mouse deeply. ;) Um. Okay. Let me start over. More free will stuff, in a yummy religious cyberpunk wrapper. I like how all the religions are equal in this series.

Still one of my favorite books.
So, Mouse and Page are two of my favorite characters ever.
Mouse: Brilliant hacker intentionally short-circuited off the web, so he can't hack but he also can't do business, as in he's completely cut off from financial transactions and has to barter. He's smart, he's sneaky, he's funny and bitchy and has a heart of gold and a redemption arc, which I'm a complete sucker for.
Page: Polite AI clone of Mouse, got all the religion and none of the more corporeal quirks, like crushes. Calls Mouse his father, does a lot of Learning to Human, one of my favorite tropes ever.

Oh, and also Satan, Iblis, Morningstar the Adversary is a POV character. ;) He has a cyborg girlfriend. What's not to love?
These books are smart, funny, quirky, and utterly fearless. My deepest love! highly recommend.
