Vicious is such a dark joyride of a book. It's got everything - women who are the most powerful people around, homoerotic friends-to-enemies, a hulking sidekick who is more brains than brawn, disability rep, an incredible and satisfying solution to the central conflict. I love the jumping around in the narrative, and the way EOs manifest their powers is super thought-provoking. I don't want to say too much, because I think this book is better the less that's known about what happens, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Can't wait to read Vengeful.

You all don’t understand how much I love books about morality especially were the characters could eased be villains or heroes if we see thinks white and black, but thinks are never like that.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed the book, but I’m not sure if I want to read the second one.
I’m happy with the way things ended.

An interesting read. A quick jump to action with the flashbacks in alternating chapters, but other than that it was compelling. In order to read this, you have to fully commit to believing in superheroes, if only for a few hours. I would recommend this to fans of the television show The Boys.

A very interesting look into villainy. The jumbled storyline (particularly in the beginning) was a bit hard to follow at times, and the characters made some truly abhorrent choices. But this brand of super powered people that Schwab has introduced is very intriguing. I kinda wanted more info about the various superpowers.
