The Archived by V.E. Schwab
5.0
This was not the best book I've ever read, and I wasn't sure if I was going to give it a 5/5 stars. However, in the end, I decided to do so for the following reasons:
- It was very well written. This is my second read from Ms Victoria Schwab (the first being - A Darker Shade of Magic) and again, I was impressed.
- The concept and story was just so intriguing. There were multiple elements underway, and it kept me interested and guessing throughout the whole novel.
The only thing I didn't love was the main character. I found her kind of one-dimensional and boring at times. But overall, that wasn't enough to bump it down to 4/5 stars for me.
Overall, I felt this book had just enough of all the things I love - world building, adventure, a stretch on an alternate reality, and a little romance.
I look forward to reading the next installment, and I would definitely recommend. :)
