Title: Vicious (Vicious #1)
Author: V.E. Schwab
Publisher: Titan Books
What distinguishes a hero from a villain? Is it their actions and its effect on society, their past or is it their intentions? Does doing the right thing for the wrong reasons make you hero?
One cannot dispute the fact that Schwab is a master storyteller. Her writing style is sheer brilliancy and compels you to turn page after page. I was addicted from page one and couldn't help but be pulled into this insanely twisted tale of ambition, power, betrayal, friendship, heroism and villainy.
