this was such an intense, dark, and yet hopeful story. I absolutely love the juxtaposition of a human who wants to be a monster and a monster who wants to be human, and the natural progression of both of them learning to somehow meet in the middle was *chefs kiss*.
Schwab is an excellent example of an author who can write YA stories that actually fit the age group they're targeting their book towards. The incredible world building and feel of the characters that is so stand out in her adult writing is still very much present, but on a smaller, more bite size scale in her YA books.
This book was very much Vicious-But-For-Teenagers, with a bit more morally upstanding characters and feel good vibes, and I really loved it. August and Kate have my whole ass heart.
