I devoured this. Expertly paced, deliciously written. Features a non-linear timeline which worked SO well, I think I’m fast becoming a V E Schwab stan.
Eli is the WORST, and so is Serena. Victor is morally grey for sure, but I’m low key obsessed with him and I think that’s helped by me picturing him as blonde Nicholas Hoult - reading this at a time when blonde Nicholas Hoult was doing a hilarious (and hot) press tour for Superman👌. 

you know a book is good when you buy the sequel halfway through it (i’m so glad i did) (v.e. schwab i’m obsessed with your writing)
