ReviewsPraise for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue : "For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality." -- Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and winner of multiple Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards "Victoria Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war -- all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue will enchant readers as deeply as its heroine's Faustian bargain; you will find yourself in quick turns both aching with heartbreak, and gleefully crowing at the truly delicious, wicked cleverness in store." -- Naomi Novik, Nebula and Locus Award-winning author of Spinning Silver " Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is--ironically--unforgettable." -- Hugo Award winner Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the kind of book you encounter only once in a lifetime. . . . A defiant, joyous rebellion against time, fate, and even death itself--and a powerful reminder that the only magic great enough to conquer all of it is love."-- Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M "Sweeping in its scope yet wonderfully intimate, it's dark and sexy yet romantic and heartbreaking." -- Rebecca Roanhorse "Rich and satisfying." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "A knockout." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Epic." -Library Journal, Starred Review "Deeply romantic, impossibly detailed." -Booklist, Starred Review "A delightful surprise and a balm in difficult times.." -BookPage, Starred Review "This modern epic about an immortal woman, consigned to be forgotten by everyone she meets, guarantees an entire day spent cuddled up on a couch." --Oprah.com, Best Fall Books "A beautiful, meditative novel with an ending that hit me right in the heart." --Buzzfeed, Best Fall Fantasy 2020 "It's a bit cheeky to call The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Faust for romantic bisexual goths, but it's not wrong... I for one will most certainly remember her." -- NPR "Expansive and utterly heart-wrenching...both heartbreaking and hopeful. I read the last hundred pages well into the night, gasping and sobbing. It's a beautiful read." --Bookriot, 25 Must Read New Fantasy Books Praise for the Shades of Magic series: "Addictive and immersive, this series is a must-read." -- Entertainment Weekly, Grade A, on A Gathering of Shadows "A gem of a tale.... This is a book to treasure." --Deborah Harkness on A Darker Shade of Magic "Compulsively readable.... With so many worlds on the map, there's plenty left to discover."--NPR on A Darker Shade of Magic "Feels like a priceless object, brought from another, better world of fantasy books." -- io9 on A Darker Shade of Magic, Praise for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue : "For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality." -- Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and winner of multiple Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards "Victoria Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war -- all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way.
