If you've been friends with me for a little while, you should know how much I love Victoria Schwab. (I usually call her Queen Schwab....) Everything she writes, I fall in love with. This was somehow different but also not.
This was different because the characters in this book were not hers and I could tell. But it also wasn't because her writing gripped me from beginning to end and I couldn't put this book down. I was a bit lost in the first book since this is a spin-off series and I haven't read the original series but since I read the previous book, I wasn't so lost anymore and it just left me wanting more. I really got into the plot and I just want to know what's going to happen next. I wouldn't know how to summarize this though since it's a pretty well-built world and I wouldn't know where to start. But really, if you like adventure and fantasy and middle-grade books, you should give those series a chance.

at the risk of giving a spoiler this book was action packed and quite bleak I can't wait for the next 2 books which I have all ready
