utopiastateofmind 's review for:

For She is Wrath by Emily Varga
5.0

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) 

I will always read a Count of Monte Cristo retelling. I love stories about festering revenge, with an underdog and a comeback. And For She is Wrath is my favorite. I adored the set up, the friendship relationships, and the actual revenge journey. I've only seen the films, not read the book YET, but I loved that we get to see the transition, the transformation. The ways that revenge will hollow us out and cause us to lose who we are. It is a fire that burns us and can incinerate us to the ground. The past flashbacks were particularly gutting. We witness the scope, the feelings, and the betrayal.
