I like this exchange. It's so simple, but touches on something so big. This idea of the femme fatale, or how female beauty is itself dangerous. An idea that has been used as a way to repress and oppress women since... always! Her response, so simple and nonchalant, but so perfect. Superpowers aside, this feels like a bigger statement Schwab is making.

VICTOR readjusted the shovels on his shoulder and stepped gingerly over an old, half-sunken grave.

“There are no good guys here.” A still fun but darker and more interesting take on how “super powers” come to be. I didn‘t know this was one of two when I picked it up, but I look forward to reading the second one!

Lovelylottereader Apparently there‘s even a part three coming! I‘m both scared and excited for Victorious whenever it comes out! 😅🫠☺️ 8mo

Vicious highlights how science and experiments on things not meant to be manufactured can be something that is not good for the experimenters or subjects, and how surviving through life and death circumstances can mess someone up.

I think this can be summed up in one simple line from the book. “There are no good guys here.“

Unfortunately, as it would be none of the characters really stand out. There isn't a ton of depth to any one of them which made the book way to easy to predict. No one cares about anyone else but themselves and what they have going on. This means the backstabbing and fighting is easy to predict. Which makes this lackluster at best.

I was surprised at how few books I have read that start with the letter "V". Of those, most begin with the word Vampire! ? What does that say!?!
Anyway, my favorite is Vicious by Victoria Schwab

I loved this - definitely my favorite V.E. Schwab novel to date. I've sometimes felt like her writing style just didn't speak to me, as others seem to rave about her books and I liked them but have never been blown away. This had just the right blend of a morally ambiguous anti-hero who thinks he's the villain, a villain who thinks he's a hero, mixed with the loveable side characters and the promise of more to come.

I have been wanting to read this book for a while and will say that I‘m far from disappointed. I loved this book as much as I have almost all of Schwab‘s other works and though none of the characters are your stereotypical heroes, I found myself rooting for them. I absolutely loved this book and very much enjoyed the tense buildup and of course, the epic ending.

She‘d told her to go somewhere safe. And over the course of the last week, safe had ceased to be a place for Sydney, and had become a person.
Specifically, safe had become Victor.

There were some people you had to stay away from, people who poisoned everything within reach. Then there were people you wanted to stick with, the ones with silver tongues and golden touches. And then, there were people you stood beside, because it meant you weren‘t in their way.

Eli lifted his. “To being remembered.”

If Eli really was a hero, and Victor meant to stop him, did that make him a villain?
He took a long sip of his drink, tipped his head back against the couch, and decided he could live with that.

The moments that define lives aren‘t always obvious. They don‘t always scream LEDGE, and nine times out of ten there‘s no rope to duck under, no line to cross, no blood pact, no official letter on fancy paper. They aren‘t always protracted, heavy with meaning. Between one sip and the next, Victor made the biggest mistake of his life, and it was made of nothing more than one line. Three small words.
“I‘ll go first.”

“Hell, we could be heroes.”
“We could be dead,” said Eli.
“That‘s a risk everyone takes by living.”

“I don‘t think you‘re a bad person, Victor.”
Victor kept digging. “It‘s all a matter of perspective.”
