Gallant

I found it difficult to connect with the characters and story. 

Stranger Things meets Coraline. Spooky, atmospheric tale with ghouls, shadow worlds, and a mysterious family history. Maybe it’s because this is the only YA book of hers that I’ve read but it definitely lacked the depth of story as the others. I loved her writing style, as always. It was a beautifully told story and the imagery in the book was a stunning addition… it was just all a little too simple to get really invested in. For all the lead up and mystery as to what lies beyond the wall, you only get a very brief glimpse of the shadow world and its villain. The story is over as soon as it really seems to begin.

I did enjoy this book as a quick and easy read. The plot was mysterious but quite two dimensional. I did enjoy it though!
