The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
I think I respect this, rather than love it. For going in a different direction than I thought it would, for the author taking it to a different place than another author might.
It's taken me too long to pick up a V.E. Schwab, and I'll definitely be looking into her other works now.
Gorgeous writing, I was absolutely spellbound. The interweaving of art in the narrative, (creation, ideas and inspiration), the appreciation for food and New York (I love having no idea what New York is actually like, it lets any contemporary or fantasy version overwrite the last literary impression left), and of course bookstore cat!
Stellar world building, the minutiae of how the curse would work, how a person would slowly learn to manage it best, while leaving the taxonomy of the darkness a mystery.
Three cheers for pansexual rep!
