The atmosphere of this book is phenomenally done. There are so many moments I would like to quote here, but in short this is a dark and truly haunting book with a good plot driving it and a plethora of horrific truths behind it. 

I fell that this is another one from V. E. S. that I will be thinking about for a while.

Started and finished today. I didn't really know what it would be about, except that I've yet to be disappointed by a V.E. Schwab book. And that still stands! Unputdownable. It's like if a Frances Hodgson Burnett and Neil Gaiman book had a thrilling ghost story baby.

This book is such a vibe, I felt like I was right there in Gallant, right next to Olivia as she went through the story. I loved seeing a non-verbal main character and the way V. E. Schwab portrayed the issues that follow most people not being able to understand you. I felt so connected to the family and the house, and the story fully immersed me. It felt warm and soft, and also reminded me so much of watching Coraline.
I loved Olivia's energy and fire, and Matthew's quiet love and devotion, and Hannah and Edgar and their undying commitment to this family.
