    I would place this book into the ‘magical realism’ genre.

    This is my first v.e. schwab book and boy was it good! I absolutely loved her style and, like you said, Addie's story deserves to be told. I really want to get more into her books but I honestly don't know where to start, which book would you recommend to a newbie like me to read next?
    (loved your video btw!)

      hmmm i think the Vicious duology! It's shorter than Shades of Magic so it might be a good place to start

    Great review, but the editing was kind of choppy, especially towards the beginning. Looking forward to more!

    I live in Brazil and English books here are soooooo expensive, I'm trying to figure out if getting that one is worth it

    I find myself in the minority here, but I really wanted to love this book. However, I couldn't bring myself to do so. The main issue I had with it is the lack of character development in Addie over the 300-year timespan covered in the story. It's hard to believe that she remained stagnant despite witnessing significant global events, especially considering the continents she traversed. In this world created by V.E. Schwab, encompassing only Europe and the US, the lack of impact on Addie's character is perplexing. Furthermore, the 450-page length felt excessive; the story could have been effectively told in 200 pages. The interactions with Luc were repetitive, and the time jumps lacked the seamless flow needed to captivate the reader. Additionally, the overuse of similes in the first two chapters detracted from the storytelling. There were parts that were emotional.. but that was it,, some parts.. i felt so heartbroken after finishing the book because I wanted to like it..
