The Archived
by V.E. Schwab
This was such a great read! I mean, obviously, it's Victoria Schwab. Everything she writes is amazing (at least what I've read so far by her is). I really loved the world building in this. The concept of he Archive and Narrows is so wonderfully creepy!
Another thing this book has going for it is THE CHARACTERS! I found Mackenzie to be a really amazing protagonist because she was so driven and strong but also wasn't some machine that could do everything with no effort. I also loved Wes a lot. He was a very dynamic and interesting character and I hope to see more of him.
To be honest, it took me a little while to become fully invested in the plot. But, once I was I couldn't put this down!
Lastly, the writing was phenomenal, as one would only expect from Victoria Schwab. I can always picture her characters and settings really well in my head, which doesn't happen often.
Overall, The Archived was an incredible book. I think it's my second favorite book by Victoria, after A Gathering of Shadows. I would recommend this to anyone who likes creepy, atmospheric books with great characters and murder mystery-ish elements.
