Vicious by V.E. Schwab

Man I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was. The first half of the book is kind of slow, but the exposition is needed to understand everyone’s reasoning for things
As someone who has been through their own NDE, it was definitely an interesting take on things and I really enjoyed the semantics of how that causes events in this book
It really does feel like taking the what it means to be a hero or a villain and turning it on its head. Some characters you’ll love, others you’ll probably despise. The last 60 or so pages go by SO fast. I feel like this is a more enjoyable take on the idea from the movie Unbreakable
I’m adding two new major content warnings in the review because I was really NOT prepared for that heavy of a discussion/talk of it during the first half of the book
