This book swept me off my feet from the first few pages, and I’m still not ready to come down! It’s one of those rare books where every word is precious AND it’s also a page turner! It’s thought provoking and thrilling. Schwab’s writing is simply beautiful, and the changing timelines are incredibly fluid and effective to the story. 

It has me thinking morality and what makes a hero vs villain, and I love that the motivations of the characters are so fleshed out. 

I would absolutely recommend for anyone, but especially if you love:
🦸‍♀️ superheroes, villains, and super powers 
🦇 the Dark Knight trilogy
✨ thought provoking and thrilling fantasy 

I absolutely cannot wait to read book 2; I will
be getting my hands on a copy soon!
