Have all my love. And more.Again, Schwab wrote exactly what I wanted, without me even knowing that I wanted it in the first place.I just got the feeling that I really need to reread Vicious. And I also a really need the movie adaptation. And the ADSOM TV-show. And more Victoria Schwab books. Soon. Now.Find more of my books on Instagram
Several years ago I read a book by this author, and I was not a fan, so I never intended to read anything else from her.And then, I kept seeing updates and reviews for the Villains series. It seemed like something I would very much like. But I was not sure. I kept thinking about that book I did not like. And with every new review from my friends, I kept thinking that maybe it was just the book and I should give her another chance. That I'm all in for not exactly good or positive characters. And
It feels embarrassing to add a 15-page novella for my challenge since I read books with 800+ pages I guess we're even xd
I could have sworn I already wrote a review for this. Guess it fell victim to another one of goodreads glitches. >_<This said: I love V.E. Schwab's writing style. <3"Warm Up" is just a short story yet it still managed to capture my interest. The atmosphere, how David is portrayed. You get an instant feel for his character and you want him to succeed. You want him to go out and to see the world again. To be a part of it.You pull for his character and then... well we all know what happens to EO's
Bloody hell, I didn’t realise how much I missed Schwab’s writing and world. This short story had me completely hooked.Time to reread Vicious and finally get to Vengeful!
For such a short novella, it’s amazing how much V.E. Schwab was able to do. I felt for David within a few pages; his backstory was told wonderfully and in brief time. Although it may not relate directly to the rest of the Villains series, I think this was a good introduction to ExtraOrdinaries and their powers.Also, I loved the appearance of a certain someone we’ve seen much of in the rest of the series! >.>
This was excellent. I don't necessarily think it adds anything to the story, but if you enjoyed Vicious then this is a nice addition. I am planning on rereading Vicious soon so this helped me want to do that sooner!!
... And to think that some authors need +500 pages to create an atmosphere and characters we care about.
I decided to pick this novella up on a whim. I love the world of Villains and I love both books a lot. Vicious and Vengeful are my favourite books from V.E. Schwab. I love her works, but Villains for some reason is my favourite. This was a really great story, I loved being back in this world, and even though we don't really follow any of the characters that we know from the books, it still felt like coming back home for me. A better review may come in the future, that is not written by a sleep d...
You can read this short story for free on Tor.com.I knew from the beginning of this short story that I would love this world. The author's writing completely captivated me, while I was being immersed in this unique and complex world. I've been on the fence about reading Vicious forever, but this completely sold me.This is about a man that is rescued from a tragic ice climbing trip, which the rest of his crew did not survive. He narrowly escapes his death, but now has a side effect; He emits heat...
