I could say so much more, and explain how much a story like this means to a person (of many flaws) like me, but I will simply end with this: Thank you. Thanks to V.E Schwab, the book itself, the agent who took it on, the publisher who printed it, and the readers who praised it so highly. You have made, altogether, an unforgettable tale of change, hope, and devastation. Thank you, from a reader who is just beginning to understand the impact a story can have.

Anyway Schwab’s writing has never really done it for me, but by the third act this did grab me, and for being so long I did get through it pretty fast. The whole time reading though, I just felt wistful over how much I would have adored this in high school…it’s giving The Night Circus, maybe even The Book Thief a little. Very dreamlike and romantic (in the Victorian sense) and a little in love with itself/the concept of literature.
Now I’m old and and it is just fine.

I think this book is great if you like character driven plot and internal thoughts. It was a bit slow paced for me.
