Vicious by V. E. Schwab: Book Review--4 Stars. Rea Vicious by V. E. Schwab: Book Review--4 Stars. Read my full review on my blog at the link in my bio.I’ve somehow never read any of V. E. Schwab’s books, and I consider myself to be a constant reader who loves fantasy. Vicious served as a nice introduction to her work.Alternating between the book’s present-day and flashbacks throughout various characters’ lives, the plot moved along quickly enough to keep my interest. I had questions about how past events had led to current developments and the flashbacks answered those at a pace that was satisfying.I liked that there wasn’t a true hero here. Sure, I was rooting for someone, but he wasn’t exactly a shining knight. He’s the very definition of “morally gray.” I did loathe the other guy. Holier-than-thou, sanctimonious characters push my buttons much the same as their real-life counterparts do.The narration by Jeremy Arthur was fantastic. I highly recommend the audiobook.Give this a try if you’re looking for morally ambiguous characters and a somewhat twisty game of cat and mouse. I’ll be continuing the series.
