Vicious by V.E. Schwab

MAN that was so good. My expectations were high but WOW. This is such a refreshing take on superpowers in a way that makes it feel like a dark, literary classic that explores "morality, mortality, and villainy" in a gorgeous little way.
In terms of pacing it is just superb; at no point was I bored or feeling too rushed and the time jumps help to keep things interesting in this regard, and it never gets complicated! You can just FEEL Victor and Eli getting closer and closer and it's so intense to follow along, despite the respite through flashbacks.
The characters are all complex and morally grey and likeable to different degrees and I just enjoyed this immensely!! What more can I say?!
