This was good! It was a quick and easy read for me with some gorgeous illustrations throughout. This is my second V.E. Schwab book (first was Addie LaRue) and I’m wondering if her books are gonna work for me. I love the writing and think it’s beautiful prose, but I don’t connect to the story or the characters very much. I loved that Olivia was mute and relied on sign language and her drawings to communicate, I thought that was nice representation. However, I just wanted more explanations on how and why things were happening in this world and the ending felt a bit rushed.

Free-a small word for such a magnificent thing. I don't know what it feels like, but I want to find out.

Gallant es un libro al cual prácticamente entré a ciegas. A esta altura confío en lo que sea que V Schwab vaya a escribir. Y vaya sorpresa que me llevé, este es fácil uno de mis libros favoritos de Schwab.

Gallant más que un libro juvenil es un middle grade con una ambientación espectacular. La escritura de V no deja de mejorar con los años y este es, en términos de escritura, su mejor libro hasta la época en mi opinión. Gallant se me hizo súper adictivo,
al fiel estilo de Schwab, este es un libro que baila con la oscuridad, la muerte, la maldad pero que a su vez de una forma muy especial nos enseña que el hogar es el que uno elige.

Este libro más de una vez me estrujó el corazón y más de una vez me vi conmovida por lo que estaba leyendo. Sin dudas el final fue lo que más me pegó, no lo esperaba aunque de cierta forma si, los finales agridulces son la especialidad de V
