Evermore (Everless, #2)

Evermore had a slow start for me. I think it was the lack of hope, like sure why don’t you just give up. You are never going to win. I really struggled to get through those first chapters but once I came out the other side and there was that glimpse of hope again, I felt like it really picked up for me.

Once Jules finally finishes her wanderings and ponderings of what to do. This is where I feel the story really picks up. She needs to retrace her steps and lives to figure out a way to defeat the Sorceress once and for all. She’s run out of lives to do this so it’s her last chance. Jules is still who she is, I expected more fierceness to bleed into her from being the Alchemist, I was waiting for some kind of transformation. I think as she goes through the steps though it’s more obvious what really happened between Cairo and her.

I loved that Liam plays a bigger role in the story. He is not just a brooding hero but such a nerd. I love that about him. He has researched everything about the Alchemist and Sorceress.

I really liked the setting, especially the tower. I liked the characters as well. It’s always nice to add some fun loving mood breakers. Plus I love the whole story of the Alchemist and Sorceress. I think that whole idea is very creative.

I did enjoy the book and the story as a whole. I did feel like I wanted a little more. I’m not sure what exactly I can’t put my thumb on it exactly. I would consider it an enjoyable read.
