Summary

“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

A new signed limited edition, featuring new artwork selected by V。E。 Schwab, exclusive jacket and special 'inked' coloured text。 The definitive edition of this genre-defying tour de force。


When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality。 But there's always a price – the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone。

Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken。 Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day。

Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal。 Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him。

Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her。 Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can’t escape her fate forever。

Das 👏🏼 war 👏🏼 einfach 👏🏼 nur 👏🏼 schön! Sicher findet man Fehler, wenn man nach ihnen sucht。 Aber Romane wie diesen macht für mich das Gefühl aus, dass sie in mir erzeugen und hinterlassen。 Und ich habe dieser Geschichte gerne zugehört und sie geliebt! Für mich war sie etwas ganz besonderes ✨

Unfortunately I didn't like this book。 The idea and premise are great but I found it a bit boring and couldn't really connect with the characters。It's not a bad book but I didn't care for the focus on Addie's relationships during the years instead of how interesting it could have been to see and know so many places and people during her long life。 Also。。if people forget her the second she is out of their sight, how comes she has all these one night stands without them going to the bathroom even Unfortunately I didn't like this book。 The idea and premise are great but I found it a bit boring and couldn't really connect with the characters。It's not a bad book but I didn't care for the focus on Addie's relationships during the years instead of how interesting it could have been to see and know so many places and people during her long life。 Also。。if people forget her the second she is out of their sight, how comes she has all these one night stands without them going to the bathroom even once?! 。。。more

Sentimientos encontrados。 Luego de leer las más de 500 páginas de este libro, concluyo que no me gustó al nivel que a muchas personas les ha gustado。 La razón principal es el tipo de narrativa y la historia en sí。 Un libro diferente a los que siempre leo。 Quise explorar, al 20% de avance casi lo dejo de leer, pero la historia dio un giro y seguí leyendo。 A pesar de que lo terminé, la historia nunca me atrapó del todo。 La autora utiliza muchísimas metáforas, frases muy bien elaboradas y ricas par Sentimientos encontrados。 Luego de leer las más de 500 páginas de este libro, concluyo que no me gustó al nivel que a muchas personas les ha gustado。 La razón principal es el tipo de narrativa y la historia en sí。 Un libro diferente a los que siempre leo。 Quise explorar, al 20% de avance casi lo dejo de leer, pero la historia dio un giro y seguí leyendo。 A pesar de que lo terminé, la historia nunca me atrapó del todo。 La autora utiliza muchísimas metáforas, frases muy bien elaboradas y ricas para lector, lo que disfruté。 Pero definitivamente no a mi tipo de novela favorita, no me gustan las historias de ficción que tergiversan la historia y personajes reales y conocidos para hacer la narrativa más interesante。 Me gustó mucho la mezcla de arte, historia, cultura y viajes, pero me hubiese gustado más profundidad。 Resumiendo, le doy 3 estrellas。 。。。more

Wow! Felt like I’ve been reading for centuries。。 thats how long this took me to finish this book。 And that is almost non-stop reading。 Like binge watching a series。 Knowing its too long but cant stop。

the writing of this novel is so eloquent and magical… i was weary upon reading this because many have said that the pace of the plot is veryy drawn out and long (which is true) but the experience of reading it feels so easy。 the depth of the characters and the choices they make and the people they interact with not to mention the setting all come together to craft such a unique reading experience。 the story flows so well despite not having a completely complex plot, and the pace of the novel als the writing of this novel is so eloquent and magical… i was weary upon reading this because many have said that the pace of the plot is veryy drawn out and long (which is true) but the experience of reading it feels so easy。 the depth of the characters and the choices they make and the people they interact with not to mention the setting all come together to craft such a unique reading experience。 the story flows so well despite not having a completely complex plot, and the pace of the novel also then seems reflects how addie must feel through her three hundred years… it feels as though you are walking through her life beside her, feeling her suffering and joy。 i also absolutely loved the personification of darkness as Luc and the way he was contrasted with Harry’s softness and sensitivity。 while arguably Luc was the antagonist, the way that Schawb develops his character makes it impossible not to fall in love with his complexity and unpredictability。 anyway the ending also was both what i expected and not… things didnt quite play out exactly as i imagined and yet there were hints all throughout the book for how it would all both piece together and fall apart。 while not exactly a cliffhanger it left me full of so much emotion, and frankly i dont think i will ever stop thinking about addie’s story。 。。。more

3,5 ⭐️ Die Bewertung fällt mir wirklich schwer。 Auf der einen Seite hat das Buch Spuren hinterlassen, die Thematik hat mir gut gefallen und besonders das Ende hat mich emotional mitgenommen。 Gleichzeitig war es aber auch so, dass ich es besonders zu Beginn sehr langatmig fand und oftmals keine Lust hatte es zur Hand zu nehmen。 Aus diesem Grund kann ich leider nicht mehr Sterne geben, so sehr ich mir das für dieses Buch wünschen würde。 Ich kann verstehen, dass viele in dieser Geschichte ein absol 3,5 ⭐️ Die Bewertung fällt mir wirklich schwer。 Auf der einen Seite hat das Buch Spuren hinterlassen, die Thematik hat mir gut gefallen und besonders das Ende hat mich emotional mitgenommen。 Gleichzeitig war es aber auch so, dass ich es besonders zu Beginn sehr langatmig fand und oftmals keine Lust hatte es zur Hand zu nehmen。 Aus diesem Grund kann ich leider nicht mehr Sterne geben, so sehr ich mir das für dieses Buch wünschen würde。 Ich kann verstehen, dass viele in dieser Geschichte ein absolutes Jahreshighlight sehen und auch ich werde mit Sicherheit noch oft an das Buch zurückdenken, leider hat es für mehr bei mir jedoch nicht gereicht。 。。。more

Absolutely adored this book

Claudia Gallardo

The ending!!!

Riley Lancaster

very good, though it took a little bit to get into。 I loved the ending even if it was heartbreaking。

Luis Avila

Not my cup of tea tbh。 It has almost no character development and at times it feels stuck in the same things。

Aurora Morales

I cannot express the love i have for this book。 I currently have an empty feeling because i did not want this story to end。 It was so beautifully written。 I thing this story is an absolute MASTERPIECE。 i have not read any other books fromV。E。 Schwab but I will look more int her work。 I cannot express the love i have for this book。 I currently have an empty feeling because i did not want this story to end。 It was so beautifully written。 I thing this story is an absolute MASTERPIECE。 i have not read any other books fromV。E。 Schwab but I will look more int her work。 。。。more

I fell in love with this story。 Captivating in every sense。

I so loved this book。 Gave me a lot to think about。 And that’s always good when a book spurs thinking。 Highly recommend!

Adina

It starts off a little slow and I was worried that it would take me the rest of the month to get through the 17 hours。 However, it did start to pick up and I ended up just spending over 11 hours on my day off to get to the end because I desperately needed to know what was going to happen。 The story is so beautiful! Addie LaRue will stay with me for a long time。

I really enjoyed this book but it was a little slow and boring at times the ending was worth it 。

bella

i think that if some of the flashbacks weren't there i would've liked it better because it was a bit exhausting having to read a memory every 2 pages。 i still really liked the way that it's written and the characters。 and the plot was so so good。 i recommend it ! i think that if some of the flashbacks weren't there i would've liked it better because it was a bit exhausting having to read a memory every 2 pages。 i still really liked the way that it's written and the characters。 and the plot was so so good。 i recommend it ! 。。。more

I couldnt even finish it。 And it wasnt even a school or academic based forced read。 Josh, you will hate me for this but I cannot stand the repetition of this book。 In a way, the boring mundane writing attributes to Addie having to live the same day over again but after a while I’m bored。 I give it two stars to skew the app’s preferences。 The ending (or which I read the cliffnotes of) seemed really intriguing- but the book could’ve kept my goldfish attention span for 200 less pages in this godfor I couldnt even finish it。 And it wasnt even a school or academic based forced read。 Josh, you will hate me for this but I cannot stand the repetition of this book。 In a way, the boring mundane writing attributes to Addie having to live the same day over again but after a while I’m bored。 I give it two stars to skew the app’s preferences。 The ending (or which I read the cliffnotes of) seemed really intriguing- but the book could’ve kept my goldfish attention span for 200 less pages in this godforsaken book。 The writing- aside from the 🙂 of it, is beautiful- there are some lines that make me question and think and step back and say wow! But thats maybe 1-3 sentences per 30 pages, so not much。 Anyways, don’t read unless you really need something to do。 I would rather clean my house than read any more of it :/ 。。。more

Really not one of my favorites for a few reasons, but the story was so engaging and captivating I couldn’t put it down。

OMG。 Justo lo que necesitaba 😍。 El final fue perfecto

Amanda F。

I was really taken by the concept of this book。 Beautifully written。 Would've liked more of Luc's backstory/interactions with Addie, but this story had me wrapped up from beginning to end。 I was really taken by the concept of this book。 Beautifully written。 Would've liked more of Luc's backstory/interactions with Addie, but this story had me wrapped up from beginning to end。 。。。more

Meh。 Didn’t live up to the hype。 Super long and dragged out。 Some nice imagery, but overall I would skip this one
