4.0

A captivating tale of love, art, and resilience. Addie's 300-year journey, navigating isolation and human connection, held me spellbound. The Darkness's complex character added depth, exploring the blurred lines between light and darkness.
Schwab's vivid descriptions transported me through time, immersing me in Addie's struggles and triumphs. Henry's presence brought warmth, highlighting the power of human connection.
The bittersweet conclusion left me yearning for more, a testament to Schwab's storytelling. While not perfect, this sweeping narrative stole my heart.

I Recommend it for fans of historical fiction, fantasy, and poignant character studies.
