Everyday Angel: Three Novels, by Victoria Schwab
4.0
4.5 stars
I was actually a little nervous about this series. Victoria Schwab is one of my favorite (if not my favorite) authors and I was so excited when her early stuff was rereleased but I found The Near Witch to be just okay and I was afraid this would be a generic middle grade/kids book that wouldn’t have her normal flare to it and that would just be okay. I wasn’t expecting much honestly.
But I actually really loved this series? Schwab’s writing is, as always, beautiful without being overly complicated. It flows very well. Her characters are incredible and the stories very meaningful. I was expecting stories about pre-teen drama that I wouldn’t be able to relate to but that was not the case. These stories hit hard and I think everybody regardless of age can relate to at least one of these stories. Not to mention Aria’s wisdom is relevant to everybody. Aria is wonderfully done in that yes she is very wise but she’s also still a twelve year old girl. She’s filled with wonder and excitement and it’s a reminder to not take the world for granted and fall numb to the beauty around you. She didn’t feel overly preachy or too mature for her age. And the other girls were also wonderful characters who I felt very drawn to and were routing for.
Absolutely incredible and I highly recommend regardless of how old you are.
