V.E. Schwab

Victoria (V.E.) Schwab is an American author of over 20 novels for children, teens, and adults. She wrote the acclaimed Shades of Magic series, the Villains series, the Cassidy Blake series, and the international bestseller The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

Her works have received critical acclaim, translated into over two dozen languages, and optioned for television and film.

Victoria Elizabeth Schwab was born in California and grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. She went to an all-girls Southern preparatory school.

Schwab holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis. She originally planned to study astrophysics but changed direction after taking courses in art and literature. Before graduating, she sold her debut novel, The Close Witch, to Disney.

Since 2011, V.E. Schwab has published over 20 books, including several short stories and graphic novels.

Her real success was her novel Vicious, a fantasy novel focused around two college students who learn how to create superhuman abilities and later become archenemies. Publishers Weekly named the novel one of its best books of 2013 for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror.

The rights for a film adaptation of Vicious were bought jointly by Story Mining & Supply Co and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions.
The sequel to Vicious, titled Vengeful, came out in 2018.

First Kill (2020), a YA vampire series based on Schwab's short story of the same name and produced by Emma Roberts' Belletrist Productions, is currently in production on Netflix.

V.E. Schwab now lives in Edinburgh.

Red, for the healthy empire.

White, for the starving world.

This book felt like a cold breeze on unusually warm day. So refreshing but turbulent and you know something is stirring. I love how it's a small adventure and there isn't too much details in description but enough to create these magical things up in your head. I really enjoyed reading it and at some point I dropped it since I didn't want to finish it, I was too sad to finish it but the crescendo at the end made it worth reading if not rereading.
Definetly would recommend it to people who find this gener interesting!
