About 2/3 of the book were pretty boring honestly. But the ending and the way things evolved was absolutely fantastic! The story of two people who'd do anything to get their way, accompanied by characters who seem extra and unnecessary, but end up being extremely useful. What I like about Schwab's writing and, therefore, this book, is the fact that every character ends up having a purpose. The whole ExtraOrdinary part of the world is so well thought! It's catchy from the beginning and ends up shocking you a little. It's a four-star because the majority of this was just waiting for the upcoming battle, but I'm sure Vengeful will be much better.
Graphic: Murder and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Drug use and Death
