Everless by Sara Holland
5.0

My heart is still racing on how Everless ended.
Everless is set in a fantasy based world where your blood is worth your time as well as money. There have been stories of a Sorceress and Alchemist that once walked Sempera. Supposedly, the Alchemist took something from the Sorceress and bonded time to iron. Which, iron in this case is blood.
Jules does not believe in these stories due to how she was raised. Her father and her used to work as servants in Everless, but had to flee due to an accident.
Jules childhood friend Roan, is set to marry the Queen’s daughter. Everless is in need of servants and will pay the servants a year of time. Jules at first does not plan on going to Everless to be a servant, however once she sees how much debt her father is in as well as how close he is to running out of time, she decides she must go to Everless.
Once in Everless, Jules learns secrets of her past as well as betrayals.
Everless is well written and crafted. I didn’t guess a big reveal until a few pages before the reveal occurred. Sarah Holland knows how to hook the readers and keep them sucked into the story. I cannot wait until the sequel comes out, which I really need now.
