Gallant

I am always pleased to read Schwab stories. She is a very gifted writer. She crafts vivid imaginative worlds with complex plots and supernatural or paranormal elements that permit her readers to flee into a realm beyond reality.

No sabía que la portada de enfrente estaba un poco más corta h me sorprendió en un inicio pero llegó bien sin estar maltratado ni nada

Veio antes do prazo, em perfeito estado

I really love books and i read this one also with full expectations but its not upto the mark

This is my first time reading one of this author's books and I think I chose very well when I decided to buy a copy of Gallant. This was a fabulous gothic-style mystery that did have similarities to another wonderful book, The Secret Garden, but Schwab does go darker.The story is of an orphan, abandoned and unwanted. Olivia doesn't speak, this means she doesn't have friends but what she does do is watch. When she is coming to the end of her time at the Merilance School for Girls a strange message arrives saying that Olivia does indeed have family and they have been searching for her.When she arrives at her home she discovers a place that has very few people there. It seems that the family and quite possibly the house is cursed. There is a wonderful eerie presence throughout this story and the author increases this as it goes on.Rather than having the warm welcome she expected, she is received with some shock and surprise. Why on earth would anyone want to come to this house. Why would they want to stay?I love the mystery in this story and it just oozes that eerie-ness and wonderful gothic thriller/ horror feel. There are many strange things that happen in this story, yes it is a fantasy but one that I adored, but then I do also like fantasy.This story may be about Olivia, but it is also about the family and what originally brought them there, and why they remain. It provides some interesting and unexpected twists.Fabulous reading, wonderful characters, and a great storyline. I really enjoyed this and I look forward to reading more. I would definitely recommend this one.
