THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

how fucking dare you, miss victoria schwab. how fucking dare you play with my emotions like that.

*sighs*
*cries*
*screams*
*wipes tear*
*gets self back together*
okay, okay, I'm done ranting. Actually, I'll never be done. This book has skyrocketed its way into the second place my favorites list (let's be real, the first will always be Vicious) and I can't stop thinking about it.

honestly, how can someone finish this series and still be the same person they were when they started it? this made me question things in so many ways, like how our actions have consequences, and how not everything is black or white. I cannot do justice to how amazing and incredible this book is.

I also can't describe the characters. How the actual fuck did schwab manage to develop them so much in less than 1000 pages? It might not seem that impressive, but the things they go through and the way they grow and how it's written, no author can compare. They are so flawed and they are so real, it's impossible to not care about them.

I can now say without doubt that Victoria Schwab is the best author of our generation.

This book messed with me, made me question my choices and it made me question why the fuck I put myself through this suffering that is reading books, especially Victoria's.

(view spoiler)[ okay so I need to scream a little bit about a certain scene in this book, and it will be spoilery. please do not continue if you have not read the book.

HOW THE FUCK WHAT THE HELL ??? KATE WAS MY EVERYTHING. HOW THE FUCK IS SHE DEAD? I DO NOT ACCEPT. I WILL GO TO HEAVEN (SHE IS IN HEAVEN) MYSELF AND DRAG HER SELF CONFIDENT ASS BACK HERE MYSELF IF I HAVE TO. but I actually understand why and how she died. it was hauntingly poetic, the effect killing the cause. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE KILLING ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN CHARACTERS IN ALL OF LITERATURE: KATE OLIVIA HARKER, THE OWNER OF MY HEART.

*takes deep breath*
okay I'm done. back to semi-civilized me again. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, it looks like I'm not emotionally stable enough to write a review about this. All I can say is, if you didn't like This Savage Song that much, please give this a try. It's so incredible, it will blow your mind.


FIRST THOUGHTS

I'm broken beyond repair, I just spent 10 minutes sobbing on the floor. I don't know what to do with my life now.

This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read, 6/5 stars.

RTC if I can make the mess that is my thoughts coherent (post-review update: I still can't)
