As usual, VE Schwab has a wonderful touch for building a fantasy world and bringing her characters to life.
It’s safe to say that I don’t hold much love for the two main characters, though I was quite fond of Mitch and Sydney (and Dol, of course.) Despite my apathy for Victor and Eli, I found myself quite enamored with the storyline.
The way the story was told was interesting, with the switching POVs + time skips, and though I found it slightly disorienting at first, I was definitely intrigued and interested, motivated to keep reading on.
Dark and a bit violent, but so easy to get drawn into. Excited to start Vengeful soon!
