Everless
by Sara Holland
The first thing I thought when I read the summary for this book was that terrible movie In Time with Justin Timberlake. Come to find out it was a lot like that but a fantasy version.
I found there was some creative aspects, but more than anything there was a whole lot of nonsense and soap opera feels. Is it possible soap opera fantasy can be a thing? Because that's what this is! It was also a mixture of several other fantasies I have read.
My main pet peeve was this girl was so in love with this guy, Roan, yet she hadn't seen him in ten years since the age of seven???? How can you even remember most of that? How can you even claim love at age seven?? I can understand if the last time she saw him was like around age thirteen, but come on!!! Also, Roan felt underdeveloped as did his brother Liam. It was always Jules remembering she hated Liam when she was seven, so he must be evil, right?
It was pretty predictable, but I will say the author wrote well. I just really wasn't a big fan of Jules and her thoughts. Plus, most of the story made no sense. I normally love stuff that doesn't make sense so not sure what the heck happened here. I'll most likely still check out the next book at the library just to see how it ends....
