Entertainment Weekly's 27 Female Authors Who Rule Sci-Fi and Fantasy Right Now“Readers won't be able to put down this dark and riveting tale of power and revenge.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred Praise for Vicious“Schwab's characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes...In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic.

E. Schwab's Vicious is the superhero novel I've been waiting for: fresh, merciless, and yes, vicious. Wow."—Mira Grant, New York Times bestselling author of BlackoutVillians#1 Vicious#2 Vengeful"Warm Up" (short story)At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"Yet again, VE Schwab... she's so good. This was a great sequel that continues the story of the characters from Vicious but adds some new ones. Characters that you love to hate and some that you hate to love."

"Sequel that should have been better IMO. Was slow and kindof lackluster. May work for some people but wasn’t my favorite! "

"It was a very enjoyable book to read, I personally think the first one was better."

"It's dark, you can't like or hate a character which, I think, was what makes the books so original. I feel like there's a third one coming. I gave 4 and not 5 simply because it is dark and goes into the category of books that make you depressed about the world... but still very much worth the read. Love the powerful woman characters. For a second I thought Victor would become the Villain."

"Would Recommend If You’re Into #powers, #suspense. Part 2 Of The Vicious Douology. Warning: I Found This To Not Be As Great As The First Book & Kind Of A Slow Read. "
