I picked this up as a whim on bogohp because I was drawn in by the pretty cover and the mention of 'shadow wolves' on the back cover. Nevertell ended up being nothing like I expected, but better than I'd hoped. Set in Soviet Russia, Lina was born and raised in a prison camp until she was drawn into an escape attempt. From there, she ends up on a wild chase through magical worlds to save her friends and family. Without delving into spoiler territory, Nevertell is a beautiful story about family real and found, and a surprisingly complex and developed concept of good, bad and morally grey. It was really well portrayed to be suitable for a child audience without losing the nuance of the message. An interesting and magical read with a hopeful twist.
