I love how it alternates between what happened 10 years ago, describing the things and experiments Victor and Eli are doing, and then flashing forward where we see a dramatic shift in character for both boys. Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing every EO he can find, convinced that they are a crime against God, all except his sidekick, a woman whose power is persuasion and whom he cannot defy. I just read Vicious by V.E Schwab and it was SO good. Ten years later Victor has escaped from prison and is determined to get his revenge on the man who put him there, aided by a young girl with the ability to raise the dead.
They become EOs, ExtraOrdinaries, leaving a body in their wake and turning on each other. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Schwab's Vicious, a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers which will include: A new cover by Will Staehle, cover artist of the iconic Shades of Magic trilogy covers Schwab's Tor. A shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death-experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. A repackage of New York Times bestseller V.E. Victor and Eli started out as college roommates-brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in one another.
