Gallant ve schwab genre6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() A beautiful book for fans of Holly Black and Neil Gaiman. Schwab has a way of telling stories that really gets to the root of the story - yes, this is a story about family and loss, life and death, a doorway between them, and a girl who can live in both worlds, but Schwab makes it so much more, breathing life and meaning into everything Olivia is and does and wants to be. When Olivia crosses the crumbling garden wall, she finds herself in a shadow Gallant, ruled by death, and she has to decide which world she really belongs in. While Gallant feels to me like a Victorian gothic horror with very little in the way of actual blood, there is a car. I’m trying to avoid clichés so I’ll say that although Olivia is a teenager, it will appeal to certain readers from middle school to retirement homes. ![]() ![]() It turns out, though, that Gallant is more than just a house. Some reviewers have said Gallant is a genre-bending novel. But Olivia longs for a place to belong, and so she goes. Her mother’s journal is her only link to her unknown past, until she gets a letter from an uncle she didn’t know she had, summoning her to her family home, Gallant - a place her mother had warned her against in her journal, even as her words spiraled into madness. Olivia Prior has grown up in an orphanage, unable to speak, the only one able to see the ghouls around her.
