Very interesting book. I really enjoyed learning about the Archive and Keepers through the flashbacks with Da. Wesley and Mac are a great team as well.
I thought the end was a little rushed but still enjoyed the action and how everything was tied up in the end. I'll probably read the sequel.
I really liked this but there were a few holes in the premise. Hopefully the second book will answer some questions.
I LOVED this book! It's been a long time since I enjoyed a young adult novel as much as this one, but this book definitely reawakened my interest in that category.
This book was beautifully written, and unique. Plus a couple of the reveals in the end actually surprised me! Can't recommend this one enough.
DNFing at 63%. I liked the beginning but not wanting to pick it up for months says a lot!
Schwab has become one of my favourite authors in both the adult and YA field (this is . She seamlessly develops completely unique worlds and stories without the need for extensive exposition.
Her prose flows beautifully and naturally - making you forget you are reading a book.
Just another excellent read and another completely unique concept.
By the time I finished the first chapter of this book, I had fallen in love with Victoria Schwab's writing and world building. The concept is very appealing to me and Schwab was able to develop the story, the characters and the world in a very interesting and compelling way.
As regards characters, I felt that all of them were very relatable and their reactions to the events that unfold throughout the book were very realistic. I connected with Mackenzie and her mourning right away and also loved how badass she could get. Wes and Rolland I keep picturing him as 10 were definitely my favourites.
The only thing I wasn't completely happy about was the love triangle. It could be said that it had to some extend a purpose for the story but Mackenzie's relationship with Owen seem rushed and unrealistic to me.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had high expectations for it and they were all met. It had a good story, an interesting premise, well-rounded characters and quite a lot of action. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of Victoria Schwab's books, especially Vicious that sounds amazing!
