title: Warm-Up (The Villains #0.5)

author: V.E. Schwab

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
genre(s): Short Stories, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adult

my thoughts: This was written before Vicious was released and is a prelude to that story. It’s not bad but I read it after Vicious and this is just a short intro to that world, it is very much a warm-up to that book. It was cool to see the connection between Warm-Up and Vicious.

my thoughts: under the cut for possible spoilers

Amazing. Seriously I loved this from beginning to end. The story and the characters, I fell in love. These characters were not perfect, yeah they have powers but they were just human. Not perfect but real and I love reading stories with well rounded characters. There were some religious themes due to the upbringing of one of the main characters but this story isn’t necessarily religious or anti-religious in case anyone is concerned (I did see some reviews about that). I’m so excited for the next book in the series and I definitely recommend Vicious.
