So, I started looking at tracing Addie along the path of cultural development in the Western world. She enjoys art and culture and refinement. She is somebody who did not sign up for immortality to travel. I needed to remember that Addie is a unique individual, and as a person is several things. There was a temptation to be like, "This is Addie in Tokyo, this is Addie in Mexico City." I didn't want to treat Addie as a doorway to these places. In the end, I realized that I needed to narrow it down in some way. I would go on research trips where I would try and figure out what path Addie would take. I became a collector of memories for a really long time, a collector of places. You can have my soul when I don’t want it anymore.It's a very daunting prospect. You want an ending, then take my life when I am done with it. That the game of wits between Addie and Luc continues! And maybe, just maybe, one day we will have more of their story. Compared, Henry feels like a mid step – a human Addie saved but not the one who left a mark on her soul.Īnd it gladdens me that we’ve got an open ending. I wish we had learned more about his background,where he comes from. I really wish Addie could see him as more humane, because to me it was obvious he changed: she changed him, made him more human not the cold-blooded arrogant god he was when they first met. I get that, I do! But compared to Henry he feels so much brighter. He had so many shades to color him with but the author chose not to risk by leaving him in shades of grey. The only thing that makes me a little bit regretful is that Luc – the God or the Devil(?) – did not get a proper character development he deserved. Stories are a way to preserve one’s self. I believe Victoria Schwab aimed to make us relate to Addie and her story as if we were living her life as well. Adaline has lived so many lives, that, inevitably, you find yourself in one of them and marvel at the similarity of it. In a way, this book felt personal to me too. What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind? And sometimes it is not an easy task to find one. The author lets us know that there’s no definite answer to this question and no one but you can give the answer. What is life? Is it a sequence of carefully planned actions? Or is it a pursuit of impressions? Everyone decides for themselves. And it is impossible to stay indifferent. It is the most beautifully written book by Victoria Schwab – a personal book, where she lays her emotions bare. The invisible life of Addie LaRue definitely takes after Faust and The Age of Adaline movie.
I am promise, and potential, and when it comes to playing games, i divine the rules, I set the pieces, and I choose when to play. I am the darkness between stars, and the roots beneath the earth.
I am stronger than your god and older than your devil. And when you try to touch the shadows, they taunt you because they are ephemeral and unreachable. But Gods might be hellish or holy and so much more similar to us, humans. It only summons thoughts of Hell and Paradise. Look inside the shadows and you’ll notice they have shape. Turn around a corner and you’ll meet a 300 years old invisible girls and smoke-like angry Gods. How it is different from the world we are leaving in so much more vivid! But when these two worlds mix, you feel as if anything is possible.

I feel myself transported to magical faraway Lands, full of fickle Gods and desperate humans. There’s something about the book’s mythology that calls to my heart. My heart is bursting with emotions ready to spill in this review! I believe this is the most heartfelt, tender, and sensual book written by Victoria Schwab.
