Vicious by V.E. Schwab

4.0

I can't believe it was as good as it was.

Things I Liked:
- The characters were very interesting; I didn't get to see a lot from the side-chars. but was given just enough to like them
- The power system is really interesting
- The ending was great, no feelings of loose ends
- Quick to read, never felt dragged out
- The back-and-forth timelines weren't all that confusing, and the plot overall was engaging and fun to read about

Things I Didn't (Nitpicks):
- Not their fault, but I don't care for academia in books (esp. if a character says they think it's pretentious, you go there!)
- I wish the characters used their powers more
- The story felt very tumblr, but it's 2013 so not their fault either
-
SpoilerAngie Knight was so wasted. Literally got fridged after only being used as a plot device to make Victor a "scorned ex-best friend/nice guy"


tl;dr: Good book, I liked it. Will likely pick up the rest of the series.
