despite a majority of the book being written in fragmented flash backs (and forwards), the format almost built it's tension up the closer you got to present day. normally, I find myself struggling to keep things straight when the timeline isn't linear, but schwab does such an effortless job of keeping everything clear for you, that I think she pulls this unique style off.

what can I even say about the characters? they are so flawed and horrible and yet you can't help but love them. what else do you expect flawed humans who wake up with extraordinary power to do with their second chance at life? some scenes in this book reminded me of x-men in the best ways. I am so anxious to see what she does with book 3.
