However, I wasn’t sure about some of the plotting- it was good but it felt a little….I’m not sure, hurried? I was completely ambivalent towards the romance sub-plot, but GOOD NEWS! No cheesy love triangle, which is always a tick in the yes box in my opinion.
I also like that she is very stubborn, and is determined not to let Liam tell her what she should do just because he’s been studying the Alchemist – he may have studied it, but she’s a human being not a history book. I liked that Jules exists as a person in point of time, but that her memories are made up of lives lived over lifetimes and that she slips between times. I remember really enjoying Everless, and being surprised that I enjoyed it, but while I enjoyed Evermore well enough, I’m not sure I could straight out say I enjoyed it. WHO IS THIS DUDE? ….But I got there! by halfway through, about half an hour in my journey to London, I had figured what was going on.
Who is Ina? Who is Caro? Oh, ok, Caro is the Sorceress, got it. Oh, and she may have a crush on the nerdy rich boy helping her…Īpart from the awesome premise that time is literally money in this kingdom, and that Jules is the Alchemist – I had near enough forgotten everything else, which made starting Evermore when I found it in the local library a little confusing. Into this world, Jules learns that the stories of the Sorceress and the Alchemist are not as they might seem, travelling back through her past lives of the Alchemist in the hope of ending this battle once and for all.
In this world, time lives in blood, and while the rich live for centuries the poor bleed for scant hours of time. In Everless, Jules found out that she was one half of the mythological enemies locked in a fight that has apparently been happening for eons- she is the Alchemist, and she can control time. Too many trilogies knocking about… Anyway, Evermore is the sequel/conclusion/resolution to Everless, by Sarah Holland. Around about this time last year, I was pleasantly surprised by Everless, and now this time this year, I realised I forgot a good 90% of the details and honestly that makes reading sequels so much harder! Also, this is a duology! I am glad.
