This book only covered 4 days - the first chapter heading is "Last night" the last chapter heading is "Two nights later" - but years span the story in between. From two roommates in college to their violent fight about 12 years later, the story takes you on a harrowing journey.
From a death defying science experiment by the roommates, Eli and Victor, to the determination that EO's ~~ ExtraOrdinaries ~~ were many in number among us, to the special powers that both boys possessed, once brought back from a near death experience. How the story then plays out, who is loyal to whom, who lives, and who dies ~~ or do they?
Not sure if it was the authors intent - but the story ending, which did sum up this book, can easily segue into another book. Already a childrens author this is the first adult novel from V.E.Schwab, but hopefully not the last. Whereas I don't read much fantasy fiction, this book held my interest, all the way thru.
