A review by nataliestorozhenko
Vicious by V.E. Schwab
5.0
“Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
This book was very comforting for me in a weird way. Not because of the disturbing things that were happening on its pages. But because this book contains well-executed elements of everything I love about books. Complicated and multidimensional characters with a lot of issues, subtle magical system heavily intertwined with academia, found family and friends-to-rivals/enemies plot.
“If Eli really was a hero, and Victor meant to stop him, did that make him a villain?
He took a long sip of his drink, tipped his head back against the couch, and decided he could live with that.”
See how great is that? I had a great time with this book and I expect "Vengeful" to be just as good because it's evident that Victoria Schwab is a legend.
