About this listen
From the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and A Darker Shade of Magic comes a stand-alone novel where The Secret Garden meets Stardust.
Sixteen-year-old Olivia Prior is missing three things: a mother, a father and a voice. Her mother vanished all at once, her father by degrees and her voice was a thing she never had to start with.
She grew up at Merilance School for Girls. Now, nearing the end of her time there, Olivia receives a letter from an uncle she’s never met, her father’s older brother, summoning her to his estate, a place called Gallant. But when she arrives, she discovers that the letter she received was several years old. Her uncle is dead. The estate is empty save for the servants. Olivia is permitted to remain, but must follow two rules: don’t go out after dusk and always stay on the right side of a wall that runs along the estate’s western edge. Beyond it is another realm, ancient and magical, which calls to Olivia through her blood.

"A haunting and beautifully tilled garden of darkness, Gallant unearths the shadows - webs of family history, the price of deadly bargains, and the secrets we guard - a triumphant tale that can’t be missed." (Dhonielle Clayton, best-selling author)

It’s okay
The reading is excellent the story is okay when I would rush out and read having really enjoyed the invisible life of Addie, this felt like a disappointment.

An enjoyable listen
Great story, not quite as engaging as it could’ve been but still worth a listen.
I kinda wish it was a couple of books so I could learn more lore and have more time to develop all the characters.

beautifully written, but not amazing
I have to admit that I read this after reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I loved that book....this one, not as much.
Schwab is no doubt an amazing writer and can turn a phrase beautifully, can build atmosphere, can set a gothic tone. The plot of the story is set to be fantastic, gripping, mysteriously thrilling...but it wasn't. It just didn't get there for me. I liked it but I didn't love it. I wasn't invested like I wanted to be. There was no spine tingling, hair raising, heart thumping moments. It was just a good read.

Could have been so much better
There wasn’t much character or story development and the ending was very meh! Enjoyed the invisible life of Addie LeRue so much by the same author. I was hoping the same genus would shine through in this book but sadly it was lacking so much. Pretty disappointing. The reader did a fantastic job however

The narrator was amazing!
I enjoyed Gallant, I was definitely in the mood for a haunted house read 😂 so it suited me perfectly! The narrator was so so good. The sound effects when he is reading the journal gave me shivers. Amazing!

Spellbinding
I was just hooked with this book. Captivated, I felt each emotion the characters felt and I drifted deeper and deeper into the concentric circles of this book.

Stunning narration
Beautiful, lyrical story. The narrator is just perfect for this book and adds to the Gothic, dreamy feel of it.
