A review by drridareads
Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab
4.0
3.5 rounded up!
This book ripped out heart. I'm still recovering.
I both loved this book and hated it.
This book was darker than the first one. And so much more fun.
What I loved: Ilsa and Sloan and Alice.
I basically loved all the Flynns but Ilsa, Ilsa was this sweet unexpected whimsical character. The way she communicated with her eyes..
Sloan and Alice are such cool monsters. They're vicious and snarky and smart. They're kind of generic clever villains but they were so enjoyable.
Is it weird that I loved August but also found him whiny. Like no that's my child please don't hurt him but also wanting to scream at him for whining?
Kate. Oh Kate. I find her so annoying. Why is she such a such a special snowflake. Please tell me why no else besides her could resist the monster? She's human like the rest of them.. If there were any proper explanation to this I'd have it but no. Also seriously why does is she the only one that uses her brain? I liked her friends in Prosperity...I feel like she was being overly dramatic by not actually being friends with them.
Also there's Non-binary character! I've literally never come across such a character. They were a Sunai.
Victoria Schwab's writing style is to die for. I have a crush on the way she writes. Is that weird? She literally creates art with each word
