This was the first book I've read of V.E. Schwab and was a fantastic one to start with. The morally gray characters and switching time periods, made this book fantastic. I loved the powers that the character's in this novel have, and how they acquire them is beyond interesting. Victor and Eli's reasons for disliking one another are so deep and resonating and both have such belief in what they are doing it's hard to choose a side. The back story and present day flipping really helped the plot stay interesting, and the fact that V.E. Schwab made the reader interested in both sides equally is proof of her exemplary writing skill. This novel would make an amazing movie and already seemed like on with Schwab's vivid writing. 5/5 stars and one of my new favorites.
