Aliados.
Enemigos.
Villanos.
ExtraOrdinarios.
Eli Ever y Victor Vale eran simples estudiantes de medicina cuando descubrieron que las experiencias cercanas a la muerte pueden manifestar capacidades extraordinarias si se dan ciertas condiciones.
Fueron muy amigos, luego se convirtieron en rivales y, finalmente, se volvieron enemigos.
Estuvieron muertos, revivieron, y más tarde. Eli mató a Victor de una vez por todas.
Al menos, eso creía. Pero Sydney Clarke no estuvo de acuerdo y usó su propio superpoder para inclinar la balanza. Pero cuando Marcella Reggins entra en escena, las cosas en la ciudad de Merit se complican aún más. Ella no necesita alianzas. Y hará todo lo que esté al alcance de su mano para sacar ventaja de los dos ExtraOrdinarios más poderosos: Eli Ever y Victor Vale.
Si puede haber vida después de la muerte. ¿habrá calma después de la venganza, o reinará el caos?

It was not overly complex but so engaging, and SO WELL WRITTEN oh my gosh. WOW I highly recommend. I loved the characters and the short chapters leads to this book being extremely difficult to put down.

I loved Victor and Mitch and Sydney and I'm excited to see where the sequel goes.

This book builds up to Eli and Victor meeting, but since I did not care about Victor, I was kinda bored reading about him. The POV switches often, but I feel like most of the book is written from Victor's POV. I really enjoyed every other character, Eli, Serena, Mitch, Sydney, everyone was complex and interesting. Every character was morally grey and did a lot of bad things to be honest, which is also the point of the book.
Even though there was a lot of action in this book, I think I missed the parts where people came to understand why Victor did what he did. Maybe I have misread something or missed a page somehow, but I only hated him and was secretly rooting for the other bad guys instead of being torn between both are bad and evil but also a bit understandable, which I thought was the main thing I would feel throughout this book.
Also, the abilities of the EOs suited them perfectly, and I understand why they are the way they are, but it was just so necessary for the story that it felt a bit 'yeah, of course, he can do this' because we need it in the story. I would have liked to see just a complex character without a gift that suits their problem perfectly.
Don't get me wrong, VE Schwab did a wonderful job and this book is very good. My expectations were too high for this book and I was a bit disappointed. I liked it, but I did not like it enough for four stars because it was just entertaining. It did not grip me as some other books did. I am really excited to read the next book in this series, Vengeful, and see how the story and characters develop.

But these words people threw around— humans, monsters, heroes, villains— to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.
Nine times out of ten, I’m more interested in the villains when it comes to stories. So there’s no way I wasn’t going to be into this book.
