We love a good emo anti-hero :D Victoria Schwab's books always seem to have the same effect on me. They are never the stories and plot that I expect them to be but I end up loving them anyway. She did not let down in this book.
The writing was so flawless for my reading style that I could just not put it down. I was reading it every chance I get and let me tell you: this is the first time I got a single book in all 3 formats (ebook, physical and audiobook) just so that I could continue reading. I was reading it on the bus, I was reading it while waiting in line for anything, I was reading it on the plane, I was reading it before I slept, etc. Even though it took me longer that it would usually take, I was really busy these past few weeks and I only get like this with a book when I'm busy if I really like it (idk if that made sense but the point is, I was addicted!).
I actually thought the main characters would only be Victor and Eli, but I was pleasantly surprised to be invested in the other characters in here as well. The plot, although not that complicated (I love complicated plots) was still very intriguing due to the way V.E. Schwab wrote it and formatted everything. Everything always had me wondering and anxious to know what would happen next. The moral ideas were also evident for me here. The fact that we have anti-hero characters here also made this story much more unique given the plot dynamic. This book was one step away from being cliche but Schwab was able to balance on the line between predictable and what was not.
Lastly, I pray for the souls of those who had to wait years for the sequel of this book and I'm happy I get to read the sequel as soon as I can since it's now out XD

"Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them."
