Until, one day, a boy in a bookshop recognizes her. Doomed to live forever, but always alone. She is remembered by none, and unable to leave any trace of her own on the world. The opportunity to live forever.Īnd Addie LaRue does gain these things – at a cost. The chance to be independent and explore the world beyond her small village. It is a plea to gain her freedom, to live the life she has always dreamed of. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a tale that spans countries and centuries, a story set in motion in 1714, when a young French girl named Adeline makes a desperate bargain with the dark. Christopher Marlowe: Doctor Faustus, Act 2, Scene 1 But now thou must bequeath it solemnly,Īnd write a deed of gift with thine own blood įor that security craves Lucifer. Already Faustus hath hazarded that for thee. That I shall wait on Faustus whilst he lives,įAUSTUS. After the disappointments that were Our Dark Duet and Vengeful, this story reminded me of why I fell in love with Victoria Schwab’s stories in the first place, and I’m so glad I didn’t give up on her! This one, I’d say, is definitely worth the hype 😊 It had everything I personally love in a story – lyrical writing, an interesting premise, engaging characters, and subtle intertextual references to a myth I might be slightly obsessed with. From that very first line, I was completely hooked, and I ended up having to sacrifice considerable amounts of sleep in order to still finish all the homework I neglected while reading it… Although, objectively speaking, there are certainly things you could criticize, this is by far my favorite thing Victoria Schwab has ever written. Well, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was one of those for me. You know how there are some books that suck you in immediately, that you can’t put down until you’ve read that last sentence, ones that you still think about days after finishing them?
