"When no one understands, that's usually a good sign that you're wrong." 
 I loved so much about this dark and twisted book. But what I enjoyed most, aside from the "superhero" powers, is that there are no true heroes or villains. Every character is good and evil and complex in their own way, especially the main characters, Victor and Eli. It's fun and frightening to watch them progress over staccato chapters, through their own eyes and the eyes of others whom they wrangle in to work with them. What I appreciate most about Schwab's writing is that every character has deep passions, convictions, and beliefs. I was endlessly interested in the motivations of each character, which are slowly revealed as the plot unfolds. 
 Vicious gives such a fresh take on super heroes. Or super villains. Either way, it's wickedly entertaining.
