Schwab fan, this is the fifth book of hers I’ve read ( Shades of Magic trilogy & The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue). Personal Thoughtsįull disclosure: I’m a big V.E. This is a tale that ponders how the things we lack might turn out to be our greatest strength and leaves readers questioning the choices we all must make about creating home and happiness. With echoes of Persephone and Hades and Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There, Schwab weaves a new fairy tale that reads like a lullaby tinged with horror. But she should be OK, just as long as she doesn't go to the other side of the garden wall. Eager for a home and a family, Olivia is about to discover that secrets and darkness abound in her past and in her blood. But Olivia's life might just change for the better when a letter arrives from an uncle she didn't know she had inviting her to live at the Prior family estate, Gallant. All that Olivia knows of her family is what she’s learned from the strange writings and drawings in the journal her mother left when Olivia was dropped on the Merilance doorstep as an infant. The other girls at the school and the teachers make her life difficult or act as if she doesn't exist. She can see ghouls and she cannot speak even though she has a lot to say. Olivia Prior is an outcast at Merilance School for Girls. Schwab whose tales are always laced with magic. There’s a new story of darkness and hope from V.E.
