A tale of darkness, with seven stars woven in.
A story of love and life.
But mostly, it's about perseverance, never, ever, ever, give up. There is so much this life has to offer.

I just finished 'The Book Thief' and I'm watching the new season of Lucifer. And this book fits well and nicely in the middle. Between the two. Not as funny as Lucifer but with all it's romantic heart, and leaving you on the edge of your seat. But with the amazing poetic story telling, new voice, and great characters of 'The Book Thief'.

Книгата, която започнах да чета още лятото, но много се изложих и я завърших чак сега… Иронично е, че всъщност ми беше през цялото време много интересена, но пак я игнорирах и заразях четенето за известно време..
“Невидимият живот на Ади Лару” от В.Е.Шуаб е книга със завладяваща и нетипична история. Главната героиня, Ади, е родена през 18 век във Франция, но иска да избяга от живота си. Затова една вечер се моли на боговете и ѝ откликва дявола.. Ади се нуждае от време, затова сключва сделка с него - заменя душата си за безсмъртие. Но има и уловка - всеки, който срещне Ади, я забравя. Така ние проследяваме живота на едно момиче, което живее през различни епохи и се опитва по някакъв начин да бъде запомнена най-вече чрез изкуство. Мечтата ѝ е да остави отпечатък върху света, хората да знаят, че Ади Лару е съществувала. Един ден се случва нещо невероятно - Ади среща момче, което не я забравя….

Изключителна книга - история, персонажи, идеи. Досега не съм чела подобна и това ме накара още повече да я харесам. Стилът на писане на авторката е много запленяващ и дори да не се случваше кой знае какво в историята пак ми беше много интересно. А краят ме съсипа… определено е книга, която не можеш да предположиш как ще завърши. Определено я препоръчвам на всеки, който има нужда да прочете нещо различно!

I had really high hopes for this one, and found myself constantly waiting for the "it" moment, where I absolutely fell in love with the story.

•

But that never came for me.

It was a slow burn, and I can handle slow burns, but I need the moment where it all comes together- where feel the satisfaction of a good book making its point- and I never did with Addie LaRue. A book full of fluff and pretty writing, I felt I was constantly waiting for a moment that never came. It was a beautiful story that could've been half of what was published.

While I loved reading about Addie's history throughout her years, it was rough only being able to read snippets of one moment of time, and then never coming back to it.

I wish there were more moments of time between Addie and Luc, which was a main branch of the story, yet rarely touched on for a substantial relationship development between the two.

Instead, the relationship focus is between Henry and Addie.

Henry was such a compelling character, and I found myself more drawn to his story than Addie's.
