An new twist on the deal with the devil story which I found a pleasant change from the usual way these tales go. The last time I hit such a refreshing reinterpretation of the bargain of Faust was Ryka Aoki's 2021 Novel Light from Uncommon Stars.
A respectable faction of a bookclub I read with said positive things about this novel and I can certainly add my voice to the chorus.
Anyone already a fan of V.E.Schwabs need read no further and add this one to their To-Be-read- Ziggurat immediately. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a dark fantasy romance with queer protagonists and a cast of shadowy, ephemeral characters spanning centuries and continents. If you are into vampire books, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue just might scratch that itch. Although Addie is not a vampire, the story includes such vampire tropes as immortality, agelessness, and a cruel sire.
The historical periods span 300 years and I always enjoy those stories which we see our world change through our protagonist and Addie is a smart and experienced character who learns to over come the challenges and how she wins a victory for her lover means even though it does not conclude the story for her I am satisfied she will succeed in the end.
