![]() While Schwab’s prose is as eloquent and beautiful as ever, there is an odd lack of character development that keeps The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue from really making an impact. But as I sat with my thoughts over the next 24 hours, I came to realise that Addie LaRue was actually a bit lacking, particularly when it comes to its characters. Schwab’s words had weaved their spell and left me starstruck. When I first finished Addie LaRue, I sat back with a deep sense of wonder. But the devil is in the details, and soon Addie will find herself at the edge of her curse. On that day, everything changed for Addie LaRue. What follows is 300 years of being forgotten by everything and everyone she meets. ![]() ![]() In 1714, Adeline LaRue made a deal with the devil on the day of her wedding. It is simply the story of Addie LaRue and choices. There is no big bad, no true mystery, no epic battle between good and evil. The Invisible Lie of Addie LaRue is a quiet story. ![]()
