The Archived by V.E. Schwab

5.0

The Archived is one of those books you recommend to everyone you know and every friend you have.
It has an entirely new idea and a breathtaking adventure to take you on. The action in it doesn't stop and you're kept on the edge of your seat through it all but that doesn't lessen the emotional side of the book.

Victoria Schwab managed to bring the characters to life by making them more human than fictional. They were all beautifully flawed (except for Wes maybe because I found him perfect through and through) and were all a combination of good and bad. Even Mackenzie, the main character, had her moments of weakness and they only added to the beauty of her character.

I'm not going to give any of the events or the characters' secrets away, to make sure you get the full experience of the book, but I can tell you that it'll be much more than you'll expect it to be.

If I could, I'd honestly quote the entire book. Every single conversation Mac had with her grandfather and every great line she thought, but since I can't, you'll have to find those quotes yourself when you read the book.

Five shining stars.
