A review by apollo0325
Gallant by V.E. Schwab

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

2.5

First venture into V.E. Schwab’s work, and I had hoped for a more haunted house, gothic horror. It definitely had the pacing of gothic horror, but the writing was a bit… boring? Simple? The imagery being used was overly repetitive and honestly, I found most of the writing to be very repetitive.

I also felt the big emotional moment at the last few chapters to be really lackluster because for all this time talking and interacting between characters, it didn’t feel like this sudden change of heart was warranted.
