My best read of 2024
I was introduced to V.E Schwab with Gallant and I was quick to fall in love with her writing style. What a delight Addie Larue was. The story, the character, the poetry, everything is so compelling in that book, I read it in two sitting simply because I had to go to work, or else I know I could have finished it in one afternoon. Addie is such an interesting character, just like Henry and everyone else, I was fascinated. Cursed to never die and never to be remembered, it is a bitter life that does not sound worth living and yet, Addie finds beautiful things and beautiful people. She touched them so intensely that she remained in their hearts even forgotten. This is not really a love story, it's a twisted dance with the devil, each step a held breath and hope that victory is near but never really is. Addie, Henry and Luc are incredibly charming and even side characters have their moments to shine as well.I definitely recommend!

This is a special book.
I had searched everywhere for this special illustration novel and couldn’t even order the normal hardback or paperback. Extremely difficult and only through Amazon could I get a copy.I love the story. It leaves me fascinated by Addie and Luc.Plus I’m showing you the inside, how beautiful it is. It’s a collectors book! And very cheap on Amazon as getting a second hand copy now will be very expensive and hard to find. I’ve hear there is going to be a film adaptation of it. Enjoy yourselves!

It's beautiful...
I saw this on sale and knew I needed it. The edition is stunning and it came in perfect condition (surprising for amazon, well done and thank you!). The story is yet to read and so I cannot tell you how much I love it, although I'm sure I will 😊 I can say for sure is that I have heard nothing but good things 🩷For me a book is an experience which starts when it is delivered or purchased in person. Everything from the beautiful cover, to the smell of crisp pages, to the feel of the raised wording of the title and the the pages between your fingers.All these things build up to the story and puts me in the mood for what lies between the pages because as much as I'd love to say otherwise, I really do judge a book by its cover 🤍

attractive and intriguing
This is a gift for a friend so I have not read it but it is an attractively produced edition with colour and black & white illustrations. I hope this is the start of more modern illustrated books. They are a perfect addition and antidote to the cheap and instant
