"Gallant" è stata una boccata d'aria fresca.
È molto diverso dal mainstream; l'autrice non ha creato un capolavoro ma ha comunque scritto un libro dalla trama assolutamente inaspettata, che mi ha dato quello che di cui avevo bisogno di più in quel momento, ossia la possibilità di evadere completamente.
È molto scorrevole; ho divorato questo libro completamente in tre giorni. Non è un capolavoro ma l'autrice ha creato un altro libro stupendo, con una prospettiva diversa da tutti i suoi libri che avevo letto in precedenza.
La storia è molto dettagliata come anche l'ambientazione, e i personaggi principali sono ben caratterizzati.
L'atmosfera è molto inquietante: questo libro sarebbe stato perfetto per #Halloween. Mi ha tenuto con il fiato sospeso per la maggior parte del tempo, anche se ho ritenuto il finale un po' frettoloso, cosa non necessariamente negativa.
Non ci sono drammi, scene inutili ed eccessivamente lunghe; non ci sono scene romantiche (non è in nessun modo un Romantasy), di conseguenza non ci sono scene sp1cy (this book is definitely my cup of tea❤️). Troviamo alcune scene v1olente.
Leggerei molto molto volentieri un sequel😌💖
Do' 4.3⭐. Ormai questa autrice è una garanzia!!! ❤️

4.5
I had some trouble initially with it being third present (I'm used to reading past tense), but eventually got used to it. It is very atmospheric - a bit on the eerie side, which I liked.
The book has elements of family, discovering oneself, life and death, as well as magic (so it is on the heavy/more emotional side). The idea behind it, I found very interesting. There could be scope for more exploration of that universe and perhaps even Gallant itself again.
It's not without some drawbacks, I felt like the final few chapters went by so fast it took away a bit from the gentle lull that was present throughout most of the book. But this depends on also on preferences.
The characters were also great, and I think Olivia was written rather beautifully and the other characters are well-written too. The prose was absolutely fantastic as well and it pulled me in right away.
This is one book I will definitely re-read.
