Fantasy Book Group

Fantasy Book Group with Ashli Discussing Vicious by V.E. SchwabLed by Greenlight Events Coordinator Ashli, the Fantasy Book Group meets monthly to explore the realm of fantasy storytelling, from cozy to romantasy, high to contemporary, YA to anthologies, and more! Whether you're a lifelong fantasy lover or a burgeoning fan, we welcome you here.For December, the group discusses V.E. Schwab's debut adult sci-fi-fantasy novel, a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers. Both brilliant, arrogant, and lonely—college roommates Victor and Eli recognize the same sharpness and ambition in each other and are less-than-fast friends. Their senior year, when a shared research interest reveals an intriguing possibility—that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities—their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental... and things go horribly wrong, setting the bonded pair on a decade-long course for revenge. One of Schwab's most notable works, Vicious brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.
