REVIEW :
Wow!! I have no idea why I put this book off for so long and let me just say that I am so happy that I finally picked it up because I would have missed out on a great book.
I really enjoyed the book even though at first I was a little confused about the timeline and the irregular time jumps in the story. Once I got into the story I was hooked. I loved how V E Schwab wrote these characters to showcase the dark side of human beings and how they behave when they hold power. This book masterfully showcases human behavior and psyche when they are given power and the logic they come up with to support their actions. The characters were well written and the POVs helped us learn more about the characters. The story shows how well the multiple POVs added exceptionally to the storyline by bringing out excellently fleshed out complex characters. I really loved the whole anti-hero, villain theme exploration, and how the characters were just people who were doing bad things and accepted their villain status vs people who thought they were heroes because they were doing it for the greater good. The ideas around morality, religious extremism, and consequences of cheating death are very well explored adding captivating layers to the story. The book was deeply engrossing and I was hooked completely. The characters as I mentioned earlier were wonderfully written. All the side characters were given compelling storylines that added to their intrigue and helped me get a good read of them. I loved the non-linear format of the book and I found the chapters to be equally effective in delivering the story successfully. I have a few favorite characters in this story and a few characters that I am very intrigued by. Overall this book was an exciting ride and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I felt the book ended on a high note and I am not sure how the next book will be. This story wrapped up nicely with a stellar ending. I highly recommend checking this book out. I am giving the book 5 stars. I would recommend this book to fantasy/science-fiction lovers who love the superhuman/x-men/super-hero style stories with a revenge plot. It is easy to read through and exciting to follow these complex characters. Happy reading!!
