The main characters are terrible people, but that doesn’t stop me from liking them. V.E. Schwab is such a great author and the shift in timelines on this story is just a fantastic and fitting storytelling device.
How do people with powers get their powers? <In this story, they get them by having near-death experiences, and the ability acquired reflects the person’s psyche./> I think it’s an interesting and refreshing take on the superpower “hero” trope.
