V. E. Schwab - Tumblr Posts
In light of the devastating First Kill news, I think we can all agree that the least they can do is have Sarah Catherine and Imani record themselves reading V.E.’s entire short story for us, instead of just a single blurb.
Life is chaos.
Time is order.

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue - a book review (spoiler warning for the book)
uh hello. so i decided that, for the meantime, i will include my book reviews here as well, because i do not have that much writing content to post, and because my other content, aside from my writings, would be character and song analysis. i wanted to start my book reviews with my most recent read, which is the invisible life of addie larue. here are my thoughts on it: wow. this book was not what i would call the most marvelous thing i've read (because that title would go to japanese tales of mystery and imagination) but i would say that this was one of the more impressive books that i have read, in terms of both language usage and plot. i'll start with the language usage, to keep the spoilery bits about the plot for later. i would confidently say that i rather like v.e. schwab's writing style. it's simplistic, but poetic, and i believe this type of writing is what people would call flowery, and i found that i quite like that style of writing. there are so many different lines i've highlighted just because of how much i liked the way it was written or because of how the emotion was brilliantly expressed or even because of just how mysterious the line sounds alone. aside from that, i like shifting of perspectives, where one chapter is modern day and the other is sometime in the past. it helped the story make sense as it moved along. the things i liked in the plot are, to me, a bit less significant than the language usage that i liked, but they're still important enough to discuss. something i found to be rather clever was how this story, as a whole, is a romance that has little hints of mystery and fantasy that make the romance seem like a fantasy. it did not feel like a romance book to me, and i really liked that, since i do not like the romance genre all that much. another thing i liked was the characters. now, i can't really say that i like the characters as people (with the exception of henry. i like him as a person) but they are brilliantly well written. a prime example of that would be luc. i do not like him in the slightest but his character and personality and just his entire being was incredibly well written. addie is sort of like that as well, except that i do sort of like her, just not as much as henry. she could be a bit dull sometimes, but for the most part, she's alright. the final thing i liked about the plot, and this is where the spoilery bit is so beware, is the ending. i cannot say that i liked that addie ended up with who she ended up with, because i did not want her to end up with him. however, the aspect of the ending that i liked was what henry did with addie's story. i think it was incredibly brilliant of him to turn everything that she has told him into a book and sell it because i think that being an author fits him as a person and because it's just a really smart thing to do, because what else would he do with addie's story? overall, i would definitely recommend this book. i absolutely adored the writing style and the plot was quite interesting as well.
Currently reading V. E. Schwabs Darker shades of magic trilogy and its easy to describe it. It's glorious and I love it❤️
