Finally, somebody who appreciates the book as much as I do and finally somebody who appreciates V.E.Schwab's wonderfully poetical and romantical writing style.
This is the first review that has really sold me in this book. I wanted to read it anyway, but everyone else's reviews have been a bit lacking. So thanks!
I’m reading right now in 2022 and I find it hard to put down…I’m loving this story and Schwabs writing style is exquisite to me. Her prose is so beautiful in many places.
I read this the week it came out! The concept really hooked me, and I enjoyed the writing very much. The last quarter and ending kind of let me down a little, though, if I'm honest. For me--and I think this is a consequence of spending so much time researching epic poetry and the oral tradition--the novel introduced this really fascinating tension between being remembered as an individual vs. having your ideas remembered, which then leads to the question, what does it mean to leave a mark? I felt like that whole thread got dropped in the final quarter, and that left me wanting more, if that makes sense.
Ohh I can definitely see what you mean by those questions/ themes sort of dwindling in the final part of the book, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the writing :D And it does raise so many fascinating questions and themes!
I was already personally invested in VE Schwab after having read Vicious in one day years ago. Got into the DSOM series but it wasn’t like Vicious. Since I love her I will definitely be picking this up
I really hope you do pick it up next year! It’s definitely one of those books you have to be in a certain mood for. Scwab can get carried away with the prose lol
This book! It was just so good! I mean, I spent all month reading nothing else but VE Schwab though haha. You did such a good job reviewing this one! I feel like my review I filmed is a mess haha
Yeah this one was difficult to talk through! I still feel like my thoughts were everywhere because it was such a great read 😅 I’m looking forward to your review!
I have also only read Vicious by V.e Schwab and really enjoyed it!! Her writing was good, but I'm sure it has evolved a lot since then! I think I'm going to read Vengeful first to see what happened to the characters of Vicious, and then read Addie Larue cause it sounds so amazing and thought-provoking!! 😍
Yes, her prose really shines in Addie LaRue! It's a beautiful read. And I'd love to know what you think of Vengeful! I've always wondered if it was necessary to have a second book because I remember the ending of Vicious was perfect. I hope you enjoy it!
Okay, full disclosure - when you were describing Addie in the first couple minutes, I pictured Belle and started singing her opening song from Beauty and the Beast 🤣🤣
Okay, well I just got through the part where she ditched her wedding and did not yet know that she "flees into the forest", so that is kind of a spoiler and I will have to stop right there. 😶🌫
Yeah it is pretty pricey, unfortunately 😞 I think BOTM subscribers got lucky with this one. If you can, put in a request at the library! It might be a bit of a wait for this one, but it’ll be worth it!
hey tori! it's been a long time~ a lot of real life hit me hard these last couple of months, but things are winding down a bit so i can at least have your videos running on my tv if i can't comment >_< i hope you're doing well! thanks for another thoughtful review! ☺️
Do you think i could enjoy this, if i've disliked A Darker Shade, and really, really disliked V.E.Schwabs writing in that series? im intrigued by this book and review, especially since it seems so different from the rest of her stuff... But i really didnt connect with schwab before 😅
I'm actually not sure I can speak to that, since I haven't read that complete series! Addie LaRue is really prose heavy, though, so I think if you like that kind of flowing writing style, you could enjoy this book 😊

Aw thank you! I hope you love it. I thought it was an incredible book!

She writes simply beautifully and poetic. I loved Addie La Rue.

Why are you trying to convince me to read this book? Damn it, I don’t wanna ! 😂
READ IT! 😁
I tagged that whole entire book so good 😊
I was already personally invested in VE Schwab after having read Vicious in one day years ago. Got into the DSOM series but it wasn’t like Vicious. Since I love her I will definitely be picking this up
I really wasn’t going to pick this up but man I might have to next year when I am feeling descriptive prose...
I really hope you do pick it up next year! It’s definitely one of those books you have to be in a certain mood for. Scwab can get carried away with the prose lol
Ok. You lured me in. I'm definitely getting this book.
Yes!! It's so good, I hope you love it :D

It's so good! 😩
Sounds like a truly original variation on the Groundhog Day / Faust trope.
Just finished the book well audio and I’m so sad it’s over bc this book gave me so many great feels. Awesome book of 2020
I'm so glad you loved it! It really was a great read

Now I reallyyy want to read the book after watching your review☺️
I hope you do! Let me know what you think if you ever get around to it 😀
I just finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and I get what you mean about having a bond with her. I thought the book was really good!
I've heard so many amazing things about this book and you have added to it. Great review, Tori!
Thank you!! :D

i just finished reading it and really enjoyed your review! everyone go read it!
Thanks for the review :) Based on your description I'm interested to see the kind of relationship between Addie and Luke
I have also only read Vicious by V.e Schwab and really enjoyed it!! Her writing was good, but I'm sure it has evolved a lot since then! I think I'm going to read Vengeful first to see what happened to the characters of Vicious, and then read Addie Larue cause it sounds so amazing and thought-provoking!! 😍

I got this one in from my bookstore the other day, so I'm looking at my December TBR trying to figure out where it can go
That's amazing haha!
I really hope you can get to it soon! It's a beautiful book :)
Great review. I'm reading it now!

Would you recommend this book for a beginner like I wanna read it but I am a beginner by the way I liked your video a lot
What an awesome review. I’m def going to check it out ❤️
Thank you for watching! I hope it’s a good read for you 🤗
The plot of this book sounds so great... !!!!!!
It really is!
Wow! You really loved this. I've heard some pretty glowing reviews of it from others as well. I might need to add this to my list...
I hope you pick it up! This prose and the story in general was beautiful. I'm definitely on the Addie LaRue hype train haha 😅
I’ve only read vicious and vengeful by her but I want to read this eventually. It’s just so expensive!
Yeah it is pretty pricey, unfortunately 😞 I think BOTM subscribers got lucky with this one. If you can, put in a request at the library! It might be a bit of a wait for this one, but it’ll be worth it!
@@ToriMorrow I’m glad you liked it so much! I think I will definitely read it eventually 😁
Is there exclusive content in the BOTM version ? Idk if I want it from BOTM or Barnes and Noble .
Nope, no exclusive content! I think it’d make a great BOTM add-on 😊
I'm definitely planning to get it thankyou
You're welcome! I hope you love it
