Vengeful by V.E. Schwab

4.0

---

Ok, I loved this one a lot more than book one. Something just clicked for me majorly. The pacing was nice and quick, I felt the characters were a lot stronger and more of a focus point and the book was just generally gritty and tense all throughout. 

Sydney is still my favourite character, I loved seeing her moral struggle here, we got to see a lot of her emotions play out in ways that I wasn’t expecting and although at times I was worried about her, questioning her actions, I still understood everything she was doing. The push pull between loyalty was really interesting to explore.

The world expended to an extra layer in Vengeful with even more EO’s and powers and it made for some exciting chapters. The story really gripped me through every turn and bend. 

I’m so glad I gave this series another chance because although I enjoyed Vicious, I could take it or leave it, it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. But Vengeful really changed things, I had so much fun reading it. I am thrilled to learn that there are plans for a third book, can’t wait to see what Schwab comes up with!

4/5 ⭐️
