My introduction to V.E. Schwab

I approached this book with a very cautious atitude, dreading possible characters' actions that could trigger me, but I am so glad I reached the end and on such a high note. I loved it, it is truly great. One thing that stood out to me was the very short chapters alternating back and forth in time, while showing the reader connected details that explains the characters and their context... This was great; it made for a very dynamic reading experience and excellent storytelling. Judging by this book alone, V. E. Schwab seems to be an excellent writer. Very very good first impression.
