Autumn Reading Prompts and Book Review

 


It's officially my favourite time of the year! You can have your cinnamon lattes and read a cozy creepy book. For me, that means reading my most anticipated book of the year - Gallant by V.E. Schwab.

Summary

The book is about a girl Oliva prior - and she has spent her childhood at Merilace school for girls but one day she receives a letter calling her back home to Gallant. The house is huge and mysterious in its ways, but as soon as she reaches there she understands she isn't wanted here - but this is the closest t home she has ever been! n in no terms is she going to part with it.

My Reaction

I sat across the garden's ledge, staring at the grass, my eyes searching for the sprouting weed amongst the roses. Only to realise it was a dream - oh wait! It was a book 😱

This book got me engrossed in its plot to a level that it was hard to place it apart from reality. Maybe that's why I love the aspects of magical realism so much. There wasn't a single character in this book who wasn't developed with a lot of thought. Be it the main protagonist or the side matrons, ghouls and shadows.

Throughout the book when I followed Olivia, an obnoxious feeling kept haunting me around the journals, that somehow they are meant to communicate more than just words. The overall book has a creepy mysterious flavour to it that keeps you on edge. Even after finishing the book, the weird thoughts don't leave you.

Overall I loved this book A to Z literally and I m happy to read this in autumn. Will recommend this book for Halloween reads too if you are looking for something spooky.

An indubitably 5/5 ⭐
