And all of them grow teeth.

Review quote:
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
Review quote:
Schwab is so good at creating a fantastical world, but letting her characters, and their complexities, take centre stage
Review quote:
Sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war . . . you will find yourself in quick turns both aching with heartbreak, and gleefully crowing at the truly delicious, wicked cleverness in store
Review quote:
Addie LaRue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is – ironically – unforgettable
Review quote:
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
Review quote:
Schwab’s page turner is an achingly poignant romantic fantasy about the desperate desire to make one’s mark on the world
