I’ve found that Schwab’s books are always hit or miss for me—Addie LaRue was a miss, but Gallant was more of a hit. It’s atmospheric and dark, spooky, and well-written without being as precious as some of her other books feel. 

Olivia is a fun character to get to know—passionate and stubborn and a little mean. 

I don’t love books written in the present tense, but it’s not bad here.
