Like sure the writing was very descriptive and fancy but? I was bored out of mind? I could care less about the characters, story, plot (haha what plot) and everything else. This book really is the definition of pretty writing, bland story. Why did it take until the 60% mark for the villain to appear and something to happen LIKE WHAT💀 There was so little page time of the *villain* so of course I didnt feel spooked or rather anything towards them. Gallant is the first to ever do this to me. I almost fell ASLEEP reading it and that never happens to me? Never in my life have I ever almost fallen asleep reading a book. It literally feels like nothing happened at all the first half. In all seriousness, if you asked me what happened in this book I couldn't tell you.
However, once she gets there Olivia realizes Gallant is not all what it seems to be and there was a reason her mother warned her away from it.Īnd then goes the page descriptions of the house for almost 200 pages yay! Honestly who doesnt love reading about how a house looks like? If you don't, you clearly have no taste. until one day she receives a note from her uncle, Arthur Prior, about coming to live in Gallant-a mysterious, large estate. "Safe does not mean happy, does not mean well, does not mean kind."įor so long, Olivia has longed to be wanted, especially in a place like Merilance. There was no plot whatsoever (until like over halfway), but in general I don't even care 99% if there isn't one as long as I'm invested in the characters. I think I'm just going to stick with Schwab's more fantasy focused books because this? This was not it. Literally how did this win GR choice awards in YA fantasy with all the other amazing books on there? make it make sense Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him? Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant-but not. Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home, it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.
Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home-to Gallant. Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal-which seems to unravel into madness. A seam, where the shadow meets its source. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch.
