I’m so excited to read more from V.E. Schwab! I greatly enjoyed Gallant and the quick progression of the story. That being said, I wish it had been longer and there had been more drawing-out-the-story. I’d also love a part 2! Having a physical manifestation of Death itself was quite an interesting topic in the book and I appreciated how it changed throughout the story. The MC’s story was tragic but she was powerful in her history. I greatly wish she had been able to recover the green journal though, that was heartbreaking. Loved it!
Graphic: Abandonment and Death
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Grief, Blood, and Murder
