Blurb
Sixteen-year-old Olivia Prior is missing three things: a mother, a father, and a voice. Her mother vanished all at once, and her father by degrees, and her voice was a thing she never had to start with. She grew up at Merilance School for Girls. Now, nearing the end of her time there, Olivia receives a letter from an uncle she’s never met, her father’s older brother, summoning her to his estate, a place called Gallant.
But when she arrives, she discovers that the letter she received was several years old. Her uncle is dead. The estate is empty, save for the servants.
Olivia is permitted to remain, but must follow two rules: don’t go out after dusk, and always stay on the right side of a wall that runs along the estate’s western edge. Beyond it is another realm, ancient and magical, which calls to Olivia through her blood…
My Opinion
Ecstatic and Magical
I have been dying to say that Gallant by V. E. Schwab is one of its kind. The book takes on a magical journey of a girl's life who is set to find her identity. Each and every page was full of something new with lots of emotions. I must say that Olivia Prior's character was one of the amazing YA characters. She is young, strong and hopeful. From the beginning to the end, the plot envelopes you into a veil of love, hope and magic. Although, the climax does not end the story, it only leaves you to think ahead of it.
Gallant by V. E. Schwab deserves 5 stars for its amazing plot, characters and climax. Thanks to Netgalley and Titan Books for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
