Gallant

 Gallant by V.E. Schwab (2022, 338 pages)

Olivia Prior has spent most of her life in a strict boarding school. She has no family that she knows of, only her mother's journal. Until she receives a letter from her uncle, inviting her to Gallant: a mansion in the countryside with a hostile cousin and two gentle and welcoming staff. Olivia discovers the secrets of Gallant, who called her there, and what being a Prior means.

What I liked:
✨Really interesting world and supernatural things
✨Inclusion of visual art and letters to provide context
✨Disability representation
✨Family drama is universal lol

What I didn't like:
💤A little confusing at times, not everything is explained in black and white. Which could be a good thing for you!
💤Has some aspects of fantasy that don't make a lot of sense if you think about it too hard, but it is kinda young adult-y

⭐⭐⭐⭐
