This is a sequel to Everless which centers around our main character Jules who lives in world where you exchange your blood for time. I throughly enjoyed book one as it fell more in the science fiction fantasy realm then a true fantasy book. Book two however was a bit of a let down for me. I gave it a 3 star rating and here is why.

1. The aspect of time being exchanged as blood money seems to have fallen by the wayside it still mentioned but not nearly as much as in the first book.

2. Since this is a sequel and pretty sure the final book we are in the main guts of the story as a fight of good versus evil. I know that the this was alluded to in the first book but i just don’t see that it was played out all that different then it normally is a fantasy story.

3. Our main character Jules who finds she essential the good character in this story spends a lot of time choosing her love interest Liam over really finding the weapon that gonna save her kingdom. I mean the last major part of the book where she returns to the Everless castle to search for said weapon she chooses to sleep with her love interest. Then goes off to search when the enemy arrives at the castle.

4, The central theme of time being currency plays a minor role in book two which made me sad as it really made this series stand out. The snowwhite nod with the huntsman really felt that it distracted from the story it does come into play rather well at the end but maybe it could of been portrayed differently.

In all the book got three stars as i did read the entire series though it was a struggle to stay invested in the good versus evil battle and i wasn’t really rooting for anyone by the time we got to the end. If you read book one this is worth reading if you want to know how the story plays out and their is a small chance their another book that will give us more story to really make the series unique and back to what we loved in book one.
