Age of Adaline(!) plus Faust but make it goth and meta. Compelling plot, interesting characters, slow burn-vibe. Great two main characters. A thoughtful treatment of history, memory, and art. Runs a bit long and the middle of the book is…

Cross file this in the "Faustian Bargains" and "Monkey's Paw" categories. The title character makes said deal early in 18th-century France and lives with the consequences--unable to leave a mark anywhere, including people's memories,…

Beginning was a little slow, but picked up halfway through. Good introspection on life, midnight library vibes

A coworker recommended this book to me. I really enjoyed the creativity of the storyline and the characters were well thought out and interesting. I was not a fan of the ending, it felt anticlimactic. But I also acknowledge that there were…

This is definitely one of my all time favourite stories. The theme was intriguing and fantastical and full of poetic symbolism. It's an incredible tale of love and perseverance spanning several centuries. Schwab is a creative genius and I…

“…this is what a good-bye should be. Not a period, but an ellipsis, a statement trailing off, until someone is there to pick it up. It is a door left open. It is drifting off to sleep.” Adding Addie LaRue to my “favorites” list…

I was really intrigued and drawn to the plot line and characters of this book. Slower paced and interesting It was, but It dragged at times and I wasn't happy with the ending at all. It deserved a different ending.

I really enjoyed it! I’ll warn, it’s definitely a lengthy, slow paced book. I believe it’s meant to be that way, symbolic to the long life she’s lived. But the character development and the incredibly beautiful writing style made it worth…

This book is perfect for any fantasy and romance lovers. The book started off a little bit slow for me. It started back in time when Addie was young and I had a harder time staying motivated to read it at the beginning. Once the book…

Beautiful concept, beautiful prose, beautiful characters. Addie's story kept me engaged from the first page to the last.

Dynamite! Addie LaRue is a great character, and her journey is spellbinding. It took me a little bit to get into it, but overall, well worth the read and definitely a book to recommend. I am generally not a fantasy genre fan, but this book…

A highly unusual and imaginative deal with the devil story, with glimpses throughout history of different Faustian bargains, eventually leading to exploring intimacy with, and (maybe) sympathy for the devil...

I was fully invested in this story early on, intrigued by 18th century France and finding out the consequences of Adeline's deal. My reading enjoyment was tested by the staggering historical timeline, meandering plot, and minimal character…

This gorgeous book has a little bit of everything for folks to enjoy—a sprinkle of fantasy, a bit of romance, and a pinch of an existential crisis caused by immortality. What's not to love?
