A review by acogna
Vicious by V.E. Schwab

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

3.5

By far Schwab's best book I've read. Great premise and excellent pacing, but lack of POC characters is very obvious and her female characters continue to be flat and uninteresting.
Like, we're really naming the seductress with persuasion and coercion powers Serena? And we're just going to blatantly reference the fact she's a siren? Wow, everything needs to be spelled out for me, huh.


That aside, the toxic doomed yaoi was, in fact, so extremely good I could almost forgive this book's crimes. Almost.
