"There are no good men in this game." 
 I have been meaning to read this for some time but always seemed to put it off. From the first page I was hooked, fully invested in this tale of villains and antiheroes. The concept of EO's was fascinating, and I genuinely enjoyed a vast majority of the characters throughout the book. Serious thought went into the idea behind EO's, and it was brilliant. Schwab's writing style is addicting and captivating, demanding to be read. I could not put this book down. I normally dislike constant flashbacks and often feel they detract from the overall plot, but Schwab presented them in such a way that they flowed smoothly and each one had purpose. 
 I loved that there were no 'good' characters, no true heroes. Victor, Mitch, and Sydney created such a dynamic and complex team, as did Eli and Serena. There are many superhero vibes spread throughout the plot, and it was done in such a masterful way that it didn't come across as corny. I could go on and on about how enjoyable this book was, but I'm 
 Overall, 4.5 rating. The hype surrounding this book, even years later, is well deserved.
