She creates such interesting, well-rounded characters, and draws out the tension so perfectly that I need to know what happens next. And yet, for me, Schwab makes this book stand out from the pile. I've read countless books about people with X-Men like powers. The bare bones of the story is not that original. These "villains" are actually complex antiheroes - murderous and power-hungry, for sure, but also sympathetic and even likeable. ![]() While I've enjoyed a number of Schwab's books, I feel like her strongest writing and characters lie here with Victor and Eli. This duology (series?) is called "Villains" and yet the characters are so much more interesting than that. Oh, how I loved this book! I've waited five long years for the sequel to Vicious and I was starting to think it would never happen. Run, thought Victor, and he could see the response in Eli’s coiled frame. His eyes met Victor’s, and for a second neither man moved. ![]()
