Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab

2.0

In the author's note, Schwab notes that this book almost killed her to write, and it shows. This was 510 pages of unnecessary. I struggled through the entire thing. Any semblance of care that I had gained from the first book for any of the characters is now gone. It felt like she had a 2 book deal and instead of pushing the first book into 2 (which, she honestly could have done very easily), she made a new story with additional issues even though the last book was wrapped up so well. The writing was still great, in classic Schwab fashion. However, if you liked This Savage Song, just leave it at that.
