Spoilers!
V.E. Schwab is a fantastic writer. I desperately want to see all the characters come together and team up against EON - particularly June and Sydney.
Also more about Johnathan because at the moment he’s just there protecting Marcella but now that she’s gone he can be his own character in the next book I hope.
It’s quite sad that Eli’s gone too - maybe Serena will manipulate Sydney into bringing him back, because Sydney is definitely going to bring back Serena.
I wish Eli’s death was a little more dramatic, and Marcella’s. Dr Haverty just kind of invented this serum that suppresses powers and that was the cause of his death? That seems quite boring honestly. But other than that it was super great.
I would rank it ever so slightly below the first one because I feel like book 1 could have ended there and been really impactful alone but I do love to hate these characters.
‘’Careful is a calculated risk.’’
