The Unbound Review

Hey guys its Meagan and today I’m here to review the newest installment in The Archived series by Victoria Schwab, The Unbound.

***There will be spoilers for The Archived under this point if you haven’t read it, go read it!***

        Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she’s struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn’t easy — not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she’s really safe.
Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She’s sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she’ll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels? –goodreads.comsummery

First this book was AMAZING and I recommend it for EVERYONE! (It’s one of my all-time favorite books.) It was everything I wanted and more! It was fast-paced, interesting, and unique!

The characters in this series are amazing! Wes is probably my favorite but I also love Cash, Amber, and pretty much anyone else that wasn’t against Mac. And I even really like Mac, which isn’t normal for me because I tend not to like protagonists.

Next I want to talk about probably the most unexpected part of the book for me, but it was probably my favorite part, the psychological side of the book. I didn’t expect this book to have a psychological element but it did and it was amazing! You really see Mac having to cope with almost dying in The Archived. It’s just really interesting to see her trying to keep it together and not go crazy.

Overall I really enjoyed this book; it was everything I could’ve hoped for! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy, adventure, or just YA in general!


Keep Reading… 
Bye! :)
