All of Us Villains by C.L. Herman, Amanda Foody

5.0

All Of Us Villains is one of my favorite reads of the year, and definitely my favorite fantasy read of the year.  If you have been waiting for a blood drenched world of magic and morally grey characters, this is IT. Thank you to Tor Teen for the review copy!

Written in multiple POVs, this story roped me in and trapped me under the blood veil with the rest of the characters.  Which is dangerous because they would all definitely kick my ass.  Like, right away, don’t even pass go.  The premise is so creative and the execution is perfect, letting me get lost in the story but still admiring the incredible writing.  I found myself pausing to admire the pacing, the inserted lore, the little details that created the depth of each character.

And this is where the multiple POVs really were allowed to shine because I fell in love and hate with every character.  Each and every one of them is despicable and loveable, and I’m rooting for them all while wanting to give them a tentative hug and beg them to stop killing each other already. 

If this one isn’t on your TBR and library holds yet then you’ll want to add it right away.  Promise.  I’m already wanting to reread it just to tide me over until the next book is out.
