Poetry in prose, and a beautiful life

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab

December 17, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Addie La Rue has lived the last few centuries unable to leave a trace in this world. No one can remember her: not her family, not her lovers, not people she interacts with every day. She lives her life this way all due to a deal to give her freedom that she struck with a dark god known by Addies as Luc. And what is more free than living without leaving a single mark on the world? However, after 300 years of people forgetting who […]

Devastatingly beautiful. I cried, not because it was necessarily sad but due to the amount of emotion.

V.E. (Victoria) Schwab was introduced to me by my favorite bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy and it was love at first read.  By pre-ordering the The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, I was able to get a personalized book plate and used my birthday present book embosser to further claim the book.  Those actions decrease the re-sale value of a book but this is one I won’t be giving up! The simplest explanation of the plot is it is a Faustian deal between Adeline LaRue and a god-like, […]

He is full of roots, while she has only branches.

This author is definitely on my “put in a library request as soon as a new title shows up” list. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series is phenomenal and while I didn’t enjoy them as much, the Monsters of Verity YA series was also very good. I entered her literary treasure trove with the explosion of A Darker Shade of Magic (thanks to many, many CBR reviews way back when) and have been holding off on reading her previous books because it’s always sad when you […]

Odds and ends and ramblings

December 9, 2020 by Bothari43 1 Comment

I have never before hit my CBR goal and then just stopped, but 2020 has sapped my motivation and willpower and wordpower. So these aren’t real reviews, but I did want to do a brief round-up of some of the books I’ve finished recently, because one was SO GOOD I needed to add my voice to the chorus of praise, and because one was SO disappointing I needed to growl about it for a sec. So here’s my Cannonball Lightning Round:   So You Want […]

“All she knows is that she is tired, and he is the place she wants to rest. And that, somehow, she was happy. But it is not love.”

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab

November 5, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

I’m not losing my mind over this book, but it was a really engaging, thoughtful read. I really wish it hadn’t been written in present tense, though. Unlike my recent experience with reading The Searcher by Tana French, I noticed that was the POV immediately. I enjoyed the book despite that. I think you should go in to this book as unspoiled as possible, so I’m not going to detail the plot, except for the beginning, which shows us Adeline LaRue, an 18th century French […]
