I read this book back in 2024. I completely forgot i read it. I actually enjoyed reading this i recommend reading it. Its well written.

I was gifted this book by the publishers at NetGalley and as much as I wanted to like this book and was curious about it, I just have an extremely hard time of getting myself to push through reading this book. There is a lot of back and forth, twists, a complicated world. The main character, Ellie, is more of an adult than her own parents, her parents have no idea what is going on, and the rest of the siblings are relying on this girl in hopes to find their older brother in the world of Overmorrow. If you like complex worlds and characters with a mix of magic in the real world, you'd probably like this book!

This book was very confuluted.
It's currently being revised. Will come back after a reread. I can't wait to see the changes

The book was difficult to get through and rather confusing. There was too much going on and I wasn't interested in any of the characters. This story fell a bit flat for me and I had to DNF.

I enjoyed it. There were times when I found that I could not stop myself from reading it. It felt so magical.

This book is currently in the process of being revised and resubmitted here. I will return to provide my feedback when the new version is available!

I really wanted to like this book the premise and the blue sound really interesting. I found that it was really hard to stay focused on the story. Too many things were over explained and it felt very laboring to try and follow what was happening. Just made it so I didn’t feel very connected to the characters or the story. Just writing style is just not for me I think I had to DNF it. Thank you Netgalley.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy!

This imaginative and thought-provoking story intertwines magical elements with the urban landscape of New York City. The narrative follows Ellie, a determined young girl on a quest to find her missing brother, believed to have been taken by the mystical entity, Oblivion. Her journey leads her to the enchanting phenomenon of Overmorrow—a magical rain that awakens New Yorkers to hidden wonders, granting Ellie the “seer’s sight” to uncover mysteries threatening her family and the world.

The blend of fantasy with a real-world setting is a highlight, though some readers note challenges with dense descriptions and pacing, suggesting room for refinement. As the book is still awaiting its final publication, these aspects may see further development.

Overall, Overmorrow offers an engaging premise for fans of urban fantasy and themes of memory and resilience. I look forward to seeing how the finished version enhances this creative and intriguing narrative.

Overmorrow by Lancelot Schaubert is an imaginative fantasy that blends a vividly magical world with themes of memory, loss, and resilience. The story follows Ellie as she embarks on a perilous quest to find her missing brother, uncovering a greater mystery involving the survival of the magical realm of Overmorrow itself.

The world-building is intricate, introducing a realm where magical creatures coexist alongside the mundane world, hidden just beyond ordinary perception. The narrative is rich with existential and philosophical undertones, exploring themes such as the danger of forgetting and the value of persistence in the face of failure. While the immersive descriptions and inventive concepts make for a unique reading experience, the pacing and heavy exposition felt, att times, quite overwhelming.

Ellie’s journey combines heartfelt coming-of-age moments with thrilling encounters, and the book’s imaginative scope offers plenty to intrigue fans of fantasy. However, the complexity of the world and the lack of consistent character development was challenging and for me, a major drawback inmy reading experience. Despite its flaws, Overmorrow is a magical and thought-provoking tale that invites readers to reflect on the balance between reality and wonder.

Thank you, Netgalley, for the opportunity to read the ARC! I found the book to be quite enjoyable, particularly the journey of the characters as they search for their missing brother. The world created was enchanting and immersive. I did find the beginning to be somewhat repetitive and slow, and I felt a bit confused at first while getting to know the characters and the world-building. However, as I continued reading, everything became clearer. Overall, it was a delightful and engaging read! I also adore the cover! was grateful to have read this early. I apologise for such a late review, I have been struggling with my health so hope you understand. Again thank you for the opportunity!

This book had so much potential and felt so magical. I had to take a break because I found it so hard to get into and follow for the first several chapters and I was completely lost. I loved the descriptions and the details but it was really heavy on that in the beginning that I kept forgetting what was happening in the scene.

Cosa mi ha convinto?
I personaggi e come interagiscono tra di loro. Mi sono piaciuti un sacco, le loro relazioni tengono in piedi la storia e trasmettono l' importanza dei rapporti umani.
Lo stile che risulta abbastanza scorrevole e adatto al tipo di storia.

Cosa invece non mi ha convinto?
Il world Building... Ammetto di averci capito poco, a fine lettura avevo ancora più dubbi... Ho una sensazione di perplessità perché mi rendo conto che mi mancano troppi pezzi. E purtroppo per me è una delle cose più importanti, la lettura ha quindi perso decisamente tanto.

I would love to read the revised edition because this book has SO much potential, there was just a lot missing for me. I can't honestly review this but as is, i would give it 3 stars. However, I think after another revision it could be 4!

I'm told there will be a revised version soon which is fantastic as this has a great premise with some really great points, so I won't go into any issues now. I look forward to the revised version!

I liked the concept of the story from the blurb. But the actual reading of the book not so much. I would fall asleep while reading it which wasn't a good sign for the book. Much of the book made no sense whatsoever with misspelled words and punctuation problems. I believe the book needs further editing for it to make any kind of sense for the reader to enjoy.

I started reading Overmorrow, but wanted to check the synopsis while reading. I also received an email stating that due to feedback, the book will now be released later than the original planned release date - sometime in late 2025 perhaps. Check back then for my review.

"Overmorrow" by Lancelot Schaubert is a spellbinding blend of fantasy, adventure, and existential mystery, taking readers on a journey through both a magical world and the heart of New York City. At the center of this novel is Ellie, the resilient middle child of two ambassadors, who is grappling with the mysterious disappearance of her older brother. Her conviction that a magical monster named Oblivion has kidnapped him adds a dark, surreal edge to her already complicated life.

Ellie's story begins when she encounters Overmorrow, a magical rain that reveals the hidden wonders of the world to those who experience it. This rain grants her the "seer’s sight," a new ability that uncovers mysteries beyond ordinary comprehension. With her new gift, Ellie discovers that not only is her brother’s disappearance tied to this magical phenomenon, but that someone has stolen the very source of the rain. This theft jeopardizes not just her brother but the entire world, as the rain thief threatens to wipe memories of monsters from the minds of New Yorkers—an act that would unleash these forgotten creatures upon an unsuspecting population.

What makes "Overmorrow" stand out is its exploration of memory and the idea that forgetting could be more dangerous than remembering. As Ellie’s quest to find her brother intensifies, she faces failure repeatedly, but her determination grows stronger with every obstacle. Schaubert crafts a compelling protagonist in Ellie, whose courage and vulnerability make her relatable as she fights to protect both her family and the broader world from the lurking threat of Oblivion.

Schaubert’s writing weaves together vivid descriptions and a richly imagined magical universe, blending the ordinary and the fantastical in a way that will captivate fans of urban fantasy. With its thought-provoking themes of memory, loss, and resilience, "Overmorrow" appeals to readers who enjoy stories that challenge the boundaries of reality while keeping them anchored to the emotional journeys of well-developed characters. This novel is an imaginative and heart-pounding adventure, perfect for those who love magic, mystery, and the unexpected twists that come with unraveling the unknown.

A mystery is usually a good hook for the beginning of a story, but I do need some exposition as to what is going on and who the characters are in this world.
The more I read into the first few chapters, the more confused I became. Instead of providing some idea of who we are with and what their motives are, there are too many extremely detailed descriptions (comparisons of things and visuals to other things) that seem irrelevant - but maybe they are not? There are way too many of these to keep in mind though, so more confusion. I was not able to decipher what I was meant to try and recall as world-building, and what was just a description and adding to the atmosphere. This eventually became just too exhausting and I gave up.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing the ARC of this book.

I found the story quirky and fantastical, it seems to say don't take anything at face value. you never know what you are missing.
While reading the story, I found myself thinking of Alice in Wonderland or The Chronicles of Narnia where all sorts of characters appear and disappeared and the direction of the story can lead you anywhere. Although, the lead characters are three children they aren't you normal children and seem to have courage most adults don't have. I found the so call adults more then a little perplexing and generally not helpful when the three children try to find their family. I found the story of Overmorrow, to be a quest of clues that helps the children find their family and gets them in all sorts of trouble and leads them all over New York City, and in the end they learn a lot about themselves and the magical world that has opened up for them. My favorite part of the story is the last chapter where the author writes a wonderful letter to his nieces and nephews and tells them how to keep their wonder alive.

I want to thank Vale | Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles and NetGalley for an advance copy of this magical story.

I tried to read this book, but it was really difficult. To many Word repetition the toughts were all over the place.
I received an email saying that the book will be verified again, so I hope that it will improve and that I will be able to finished it afterwards.
I DNF it, hope that I will someday.
