I really enjoyed this book - a lot about characters and various stories that I felt were woven well together. Did get repetitive at times & was longer than I think it needed to be haha

Excellent read. Characters were great (except Charlotte who i now hold a personal grudge against), but the climax was underwhelming. I wanted more from the confrontation between Alice and Sabine.
Charlotte's death was fitting imo but Sabine's was anticlimactic, which I'm sure was the intention, but since her character was so compelling and well-developed, i think she deserved a more dramatic send off.

V.E. Shwab has done it again. I adore her writing style! I'm glad I grabbed a physical copy of this one. Who doesn't like a good vampire novel?

A basically fine book if you read it really fast and roll your eyes a little and don't think that hard about it

Verging on the edge of too gruesome for me, but the story in the second half made up for it. I wasnt surprised by any of the connections but i felt deeply for the characters. Very cool how you can be cheering on for one character until you see her from another perspective.
I think my favourite v.e. schwab??

This book has no plot ,no vibes ,nothing. Middle of nowhere brings in a third POV which adds nothing to the story . If you want to read a book which starts with no plot and ends with even more questions ,this one's for u😀
