Vanessa’s Reviews > Victorious > Status Update

I’m not having a good time…

Everything is so easy and convenient. All the things are just magically working out… why bother even writing conflict if this is how it gets resolved?

The convolutions of character introductions needs to be a case study on what to avoid

Look, Victor matters again so now we get a series of chapters to explain his absence and why he’s relevant again now.

I’m really tired of this story and how fan-fiction it feels.

Malcolm is cool though as a concept.

I’m lowkey embarrassed I didn’t predict/see the Serena thing coming

“It was easy to be brave when you thought you were invincible—harder when you learned you’re not.”

It took nearly half the book but my boy is back!!!

Also the mirroring of “Eli Ever is not a puppet” to “Victor Vale is not a sidekick” from Vicious was superb.

GG is quite crazy in every way.

“You’re a corpse masquerading as a man.” Well well well, what do we have here

Oh the irony of reading two books back to back with a teenager named Javi.

“All this work to trade a fast death for a slow one.”

“A week before the end” don’t you test me.

Also yeah Gabriel is both Dracula and Overhaul.

I think Helena’s name is an amusing pun.

I’m also increasing believing in my delusion even though it won’t be as I want it to be.

I feel both equal part dread and exhilaration being back in this world.

What does the world look like after revenge has been served?

The inhaler is cool. It makes me feel seen.

I feel like I’m the only one who misses Cardale. Which obviously makes sense contextually but it saddens me nevertheless. He better come back.

p.s. GG’s shady actions had terrible consequences
