Evermore (Everless) (edició 2018)

I didn't like this one as much as the first book. There was always a lot going on but it still seemed to drag quite a bit for me. It never really hooked me enough into not wanting to put it down. I did like how the story eventually unfolded. The ending was also very good. ( )

1.5 really
I enjoyed this book a lot. But there where parts that felt rushed and oddly worded at times, I had to reread some sentences for it to make sense. I personally would've liked more detail about the Alchemist and the Sorceress' past.
The end was a little rushed I felt. But at the very end it did suggest that there is more to the story. So who knows there might be more. Or it's just an open ending. ( )

DNF at pg. 45.

The stupidity is killing me.

This is the second time I hated a sequel from one of my favorites. ( )

I read this for the "A Book Published By HarperCollins" part of my 2019 reading challenge. So good! Not quite as good as book one I found, and I got a little confused by how fast the ending was, but I still really enjoyed it, could not put it down, and read the whole thing in less than a day. ( )

Publisher's blurb : In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency—extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.

No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.

But going back to Everless brings more danger—and temptation—than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate—and the fate of time itself. (Good Reads, 2020)

My view: Not quite as good as the first - dragged a bit on the romance side of things. Can't wait to read #3 though which is not yet in print. Suitable for young adults who like fantasy and romance with an added twist with the time factor. ( )
