If you like nuanced characters that push the boundaries between good and evil, then her books are for you. But with so many novels (you can read this handy dandy rundown), which reading path do you take? Fret not! I’m here to give you my recommendation for how to read (almost) everything written by V.E. Schwab—a sort of map, if you will. There is no right way to read her books, but I found this pathway helpful. I didn’t include all of her books because some of them are anthologies and some were commissioned (like Everyday Angel), but I believe that these books represent the core of her work. Books 2 and 3 in this series are A Gathering of Shadows and A Conjuring of Light respectively. They make up the original trilogy. But V.E. recently announced there will be a sequel! She also wrote a prequel (in comic form!) called The Steel Prince. This is a longer series that requires more commitment, but if you haven’t already fallen in love with Schwab’s characters, you definitely will.
