Vicious by V.E. Schwab
5.0
I think the quote at the beginning of the book sums it up perfectly: "Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good, but between Bad and Worse."
This was a great story about gray morality and the beliefs that justify and set forth immoral actions. I loved the battle between the two main characters; it drew me in from the first page. Both are equally horrible but also believable people. I also really liked all of the side characters, they didn't feel like tools or pawns in the story but lived-in characters of their own. The pacing and structure of this book were so well done and fit the plot perfectly! It really heightened the tension in the right parts and gave some more explanation of past events where it was necessary.
A well-deserved first five star of the year!
