The atmosphere of this book was everything! I absolutely adore V.E. Schwab’s writing, and Gallant was no exception. Honestly, this book isn’t my new favorite or anything. I did like the characters, but I didn’t completely love them. But I don’t think I’ve read a book with such a great atmosphere. It had gothic vibes for sure. With such a haunting setting. At times this felt a bit like a horror novel. I did end up rating this five stars, it had me hooked while I was reading. I would recommend it. Although I don’t think it’ll be for everybody.
