The madman who’d murdered two people at the Falcon Price building, all the while claiming to be some monster-slayer, some hero. —— Elliot Ever once said out of desperation: “Can’t you see that? I’m a hero.” And also “She’ll tell you. I’m a hero!” Elliot Ever was/is a pathetic peace of shit of a man, self-absorbed, thinking he exists for a higher purpose, given such powers after his NDE to cleanse the world from monsters who just happened to have the unfortunate chance to have a near death experience. Eli looked sweet, charming and often called charismatic but Victor could see right through him.

Victor who was preoccupied by Eli’s presence who I had actually said before that had a weird and creepy fixation over Elliot and I (a clown) had said that I feel concerned for Elliot Ah Ahhhhhh anyways. Victor was all about revenge even tho he had no clue how he would kill Elliot but he had the masterful plan of letting the authorities catch him in the act and it was SMORT, the execution was risky and kinda messy (burning some girl’s body and all) but SMORT AND well it worked right ? Hopefully.

I didn’t give the book a 5 ⭐️ because it felt like something was missing you know ? Don’t know if it was the bit of shallowness of the motives between the two parties or something else but I have finally stepped inside the V.E. Schwab zone and I’m not planning on getting out anytime soon (although a break doesn’t sound so bad).

Loved this book, loved the setting and the EOs variety of powers and hopefully I’ll start Vengeful sometime soon
