4.5 stars rounded up. I just wish that the external world interference was included somehow differently.

Talk about a finale!

When I first read All of Us Villains I was blown away by the setting and characters that filled this world. Definitely had some The Hunger Games vibes with the whole sending kids to die for an ultimate goal, but there was just so much more and I was hooked.

There will be spoilers for Book 1.

At the end of the previous book, the curse was falling apart around them - both from what Briony was doing with the relics and from the instability it now had. All seemed to be going righ Talk about a finale!

There will be spoilers for Book 1.

At the end of the previous book, the curse was falling apart around them - both from what Briony was doing with the relics and from the instability it now had. All seemed to be going right, the champions were mostly going to work together to destroy the curse but then of course everything went wrong. Two of the champions end up cursed themselves, Hendry comes back from the dead and someone gets murdered. A hot mess.

So book two starts off with a bang. Word is out - some of the champions are trying to bring down the curse. Most of the book is with the champions split into two teams - one team to bring down the curse, the other to continue out the rules. As the book goes on, views get skewed. Everything is in that weird grey area and honestly, no one really knows what to do.

What I absolutely loved about this book were the characters. Each one felt so different from the other that I was never confused on who I was reading about - and that's hard with such a giant cast. I understood what everyone was working for and I felt attached to them. Obviously some more than others (Al, my sweet sunshine child). But then there were also the relationships that forged that i NEVER saw coming and I am 100% HERE FOR IT. I lived for these scenes, and I don't want to give it away, but if you read the book, you know what I'm talking about. Also freaking Hendry just ripping my heart out every time he was on the page.

This series laid out the facts and never really strayed from them. It's violent and brutal. There is no shortage of gore and horribleness. But I liked that the authors didn't shy away from the ugliness. These kids were flawed in so many ways but that made them more personable, more relatable. Overall it was a story about acceptance and belonging. I freaking loved it. And that ending? I thought that it fit the narrative perfectly. There was no way it could be all sunshine and rainbows and I think it would have diminished what the characters went through if it was. Props to the authors for taking it there.

Guys, I sobbed in this book. Like gulping sobs. It was fantastic and I highly recommend this duology. ...more

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this one.

In this sequel to All of Us Villains, the teens still standing work against each other as one group continues to try and win the trial, and the other group wants to end it all for good. Meanwhile, the blood veil has fallen and the rest of the city is eager to get their hands on the competitors.

I really enjoyed this! Oh my gosh Alistair is definitely my favorite character---no one is surprised. I'm trying not to give anything away ...more
