Really slow start but absolutely addictive to read. The magic system is really interesting. The parallel worlds is a little confusing but she makes it pretty easy to follow. V.E. Schwab could write literally anything and I would love it though. I don’t think I’ve read anything of hers that doesn’t blow me away.
