A great follow up to Vicious. If you liked the first you’ll love the sequel. Can’t wait to see where it goes next.

Victor Vale will always be my fave

Ah, Vengeful. The long-awaited sequel to Vicious. In some ways, I'm satisfied. In others, disappointed. Though it did not blow my mind, it was worth the wait. The last hundred pages or so is where the story really kicks into high gear, but it's over before you know it.

I loved all of the characters (old and new) and Schwab really expands on the concept of EOs in this book. I felt like I was watching a slow-burn Marvel movie the entire time. I did find the frequent time jumps between past and present jarring, and it took a while to settle into the strange rhythm. Also, I'm not a fan of the repetitive writing style. I don't need to know that Syd slowed, stopped, halted. It was annoying, irritating, irksome. The pacing was on the lagging end for my taste, but Schwab really did meticulously work her way up to tying everything together for the grand finale.

Excellent follow-up to Vicious

Okay Schwab needs to write a third book. Seriously You cannot end it like that and not have a third book in the works. Please. Pretty Please.

This books is set 5 years after Vicious. And we still have all our favorite villains:
Victor - Have to say Victor kind of irked me a bit in this one.
Sydney - Oh I still love her.
Mitch - Oh I still love him
Dol - 3 times dead dog. What is not to love
Eli - Actually was a part in this book I felt sorry for him

Plus a few more added:
Marcella - Don't let her touch you
June - Who is she really. I would really like to see a book about her because I really liked June. Want more on her backstory.
And Jonathan: He was more of a minor player But a very cool power.

I really did like this book. Have to say I liked Vicious more but this was still excellent. Especially the end. WOW!

As in the first book I loved all the powers these EO's had. And I think the new characters were very well written. This book confused me a bit though with all the jumping around it did. And Marcella, June and Jonathan were the more focal characters. While Victor, Sydney, Mitch and Eli were more secondary this time. Which I was kind of disappointed. But with the way the story went That is how it had to be. I did think some parts sort of dragged for me. But the end sure made up for all of that. That was an edge of my seat, tension building ending.

It was still all in all an excellent book. If you loved Vicious, you have to read this. And if you didn't love Vicious, well What is wrong with you LOL

A wonderfully twisted and dark sequel

(Full review on kaleyconnell.wordpress.com)

This book, like Vicious, was wonderfully written. Each chapter, each jump in time, fell in perfect sync with the next. This book kept me awake well into the night, verging on early morning. Vengeful isn’t a page turner; it’s a page eater. I devoured the words like they were the first meal I’d had in weeks. By the end, I felt like I’d eaten a full course meal at a five diamond restaurant.

My complaints are few and far between, and all of them are based on personal preference. I wish there was more backstory with certain characters. I felt like a part of Marcella’s story was too brushed over. And lastly, I felt like this story was a little too obviously staged, especially when compared to Vicious. But these would never deter me from recommending this series. Which I do. So, so much.

So if you enjoy unique stories, amazing storytelling, and characters that will have your mind, heart, and soul in so many knots you wont ever be able to untangle them, then make sure you pick up this series!

Solid, action packed sequel

Commenté aux États-Unis le 3 mars 2019

Achat vérifié

V.E. Schwab once again prompts her readers to question what makes a hero or a villain, and to identify that all motives have many sides. VENGEFUL catches up to our misfit family from VICIOUS, but introduces a new, bad ass, and extremely dangerous ExtraOrdinary named Marcella. Power, motive, and weakness align to create a dark and gripping tale of family and loyalty.

Again, Schwab expertly utilizes time to cultivate anticipation for the eventual culmination of the twists and turns of the story. However, I felt the strands of the story and characters were too broad and seemingly unrelated at times. I had a lot of trouble identifying with Marcella, who did her own thing until about page 350 when the main EOs actually started to interact. Until ~50 pages to the end, the story seemed a bit random and wasn't as gripping as I would have liked. But those last 50 pages were fantastic in their ability to boil down the book into its fundamental theme: Victor vs. Eli.

The character developments occurred in subtle shifts: Eli's new perspective on his own abilities; Victor's reluctant attachment and love for his "family"; Sydney's growth and maturity. These were small, emotional, and character driven changes that brought a wonderful depth to the story.

I was not as enamored with VENGEFUL as I was with VICIOUS (book 1), but it was a solid, action packed continuation of the story that I know was create with heart and love (seriously, follow Schwab on social media to see how much she loves her fans and these characters, it's amazing). The end provided some possibility for book 3 without a glaring obligation, which was refreshing and made the ending finite but still relatively optimistic. I would love to see more of Sydney, she is still my favorite character.

Ms. Victoria Schwab has accomplished in creating a compelling sci-fi story where I question my own sense of morality.

Vengeful is the sequel to Vicious — a story of med-students who obtain superpowers and play god as they seek to destroy each other. It is hard talk about Vengeful without spoiling the master piece that is Vicious.

It is hard to describe my feelings and thoughts about Vengeful, while I thought the book was brilliant in prose and plot, it did not feel brilliant. Just like Vicious, Vengeful introduces to us a cast of questionable characters who are neither good or bad (well maybe quite bad) but certainly not evil. That’s the thing about Vicious that I loved, it truly showed that a villain is the hero of his own story. And in Vengeful we explored that same concept.

Victor is back, but not completely, his powers are working against him and he is desperate to find someone to fix him. This desperation is the key motive for many of the characters in Vengeful. Eli’s desperation to be set free. Sydney’s desperation to bring back her sister. Marcela’s desperation to become powerful. June’s desperation to seek revenge but be loved. Stell’s desperation to complete his life’s work.

Desperation leads people to make some morally gray decisions. Ms. Schwab’s masterful writing allows the reader to truly get inside the character’s head and understand the core of their soul and what drives their decision making. It makes you re-think your sense your morality, for these characters didn’t want to cause death nor destruction. They just wanted revenge on the people who hurt them. Which is a very human thing to do something (minus the superpowers).

However, I felt something was missing. There was something about Vicious that truly resonated in me that Vengeful did not, but I still can’t figure out why? I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy Vengeful, I truly did! It was brilliant and Ms. Schwab is a fantastical story-teller. But one could can enjoy a book without being completely obsessed with it?

Like always Ms. Schwab’s writing is precise and sharp just like fresh sharpened steak knife. Her way with words and language is divine. She has the perfect amount of dialogue and prose mixed together to keep the readers engage and falling in love with the prose.

Aside from my personal unknown dissonance, Vengeful is a sequel you must read! Test your sense of morality and root for characters who shouldn’t be cheered on. This actioned packed tale is one that will leave you wanting for more!

The most shiny 4 stars!

I have to start this review exactly the same as last time with Vicious. I almost gave 5 stars, but in the end, it came out of a 4.5-star experience for me and finally I decided I round it down to 4.

It doesn't mean this is not a good book. It's an excellent book, a great story and I also really like how she writes. The writing is wonderful. The characters are mostly likable, although I think I liked some characters who were meant to be villains more, than the main protagonist. But it may be that this is intended.

Anyway, I decided some time ago, that I only give 5 stars when a book keeps me awake at night, when I can't wait to pick it up and read or when it has such a cathartic effect on me, that I cannot think of giving anything else.

And although there were some times when it kept me reading past my bedtime and I never felt it a struggle to pick it up, I still had that tiny bit of YA aftertaste, that somehow the book doesn't take itself completely seriously. It's a very dark work and a quite grim story, but still, sometimes it felt like that teenagers are the intended audience and that bothered me a little bit.

Still, I'm more than happy that I found V.E. Schwab. Somehow she managed to become one of my favorites, even if I gave 4 points to both of the books I've read so far by her. I'm certain I will continue exploring her work and I hope that the tiny aftertaste I managed before will dissolve or I get used to it.

I recommend this one to anyone who read the first book, and I also have to state that this is even better. So these 4 stars somewhat shinier than the ones I gave to Vicious.

Satisfying hero tale

Commenté aux États-Unis le 10 janvier 2021

Have I ever told y'all that I love superheroes?!

Well this one brings DC, Marvel, X-Men, Hydra, The Avengers and the Justice League all together. Seriously- just imagine how EPIC that movie would be! Plus the budget would be sky high.

In this sequel to VICIOUS, we have the same characters, Victor, Sydney, Mitch, Eli and Dol. But... we also get to meet new characters like Jane and Marcella with new and powerful powers.

The ending is satisfying in oh so many ways, but leaves just enough open endings for there to be a third book- is there going to be one? I've heard yes and no.

Overall, this was a good sequel! Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely a good read.

I love this book so much. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the first considering the time between them, but every moment I spent reading, it was a solid reminder to how enamored I am with Vicious.

Like where is my TV series adaptation of this? I needed it yesterday. Please let me have more Victor Vale in my life.
