A review by nhborg
Vicious by V.E. Schwab

3.0

Had a nice time listening to this. This must be a textbook example of morally gray characters, and it was definitely edgy, to the point where it sometimes fell flat instead of actually being cool. I really liked the premise of academic rivalling and the bad guy vs bad guy setup, but I think some of the potential was lost along the way and that the story ended up feeling too narrow. It was engaging, but it didn’t have that much interesting to offer otherwise. That being said, I’ll probably hop right onto the «Vengeful» audiobook to see if it takes that extra step that I’m looking for.
